OOM: Working on the theater with Joly

Autor checks over his list to see what else needs work in his and Joly's theater. The cavern is almost cozy now, with cushions on the floor and a couple of benches in the back, along with a table off to the side for food strung up with lights.

Autor picks his way across the floor to the 'stage', peering up at where Joly works with the lighting. "How's it going?"

Theater Needs

How to Run a Theater:
-How do we choose the projects? What will be the decision-making structure?
-Names for the theater company? Is this even necessary?
-Budget for paints, backdrops, props, costumes?
-Which plays? Shakespeare possibly too complicated?
-Who will act in them? Who will direct? Will we have enough people? Stage manager?
-Auditions for all of the above?
-Staging equipment? Prop builders?
-Marketing? Bulletin board announcements?
-How many shows per year?
-Who will come see the plays? How are they likely to learn about them?

Stage:
-inside or out?
-if outside, made with earthbending?
-weather concerns?
-lighting
-budget?
-sunken stage?
-comfortable seating in an amphitheater?
