Too many school theatres look great on paper but fail in practice. From bad acoustics and poor sightlines to underpowered AV systems, these mistakes can cost schools thousands and leave students with a frustrating, unusable space.
This session lays out the 10 essential rules for designing a school theatre that actually works. Whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing space, we’ll cover the critical do’s and don’ts in stage layout, lighting, rigging, acoustics, and AV integration.
Time and again we see the same problems raise their heads, that could have been avoided with a little more thought at the design stage.
Attendees will learn from real-world examples of what works (and what doesn’t!), helping them avoid common pitfalls and ensuring their theatre is safe, functional, and inspiring for students and staff. Whether you’re an estate manager, architect, or school leader, this session will give you a clear roadmap for getting it right first time.
