| Summary: | The purpose of this analysis was to obtain architectural dimensions from selected community college theatres. A survey was sent to 315 community college theatre departments requesting information in 17 categories: stage dimensions, proscenium arch, grid, loading doors, rigging, stage floor, pit, storage areas, building shop, costume shop, dressing rooms, rehearsal rooms, green room, lights, light booth, control booth, auditorium, and colors. There was a 25% survey return rate. Results from the survey are reported in 5 tables: Mean, Median and Range of Survey Topics, Maximum and Minimum Responses for Survey Questions, Room Measurements, Adequacy Ratings, and Topics and Quantities. Appendices include a copy of the survey, mailing list, and comments from the respondents. The analysis shows that workshops and storage areas had the lowest adequacy rating. In addition, comments from respondents provided recommendations for future community college theatre designers. These include: (1) Determine needs and role of the college and theatre before a consultant or architect is hired and plans are drawn. (2) Determine instructional need in terms of current and future course offerings. (3) Provide concessions if the facility will host touring productions or community activities. (4) Theatre staff should have an active part in determining the needs and design. (5) The college should hire the theatre consultant. (6) Choose an architect with theatre experience. | |
