High School Theatre Signs and Documents

By Elizabeth Rand

This is a book contains generic signs, forms, handouts and checklists common to high school theatres. Most pertain to safety and security standards intended to control and minimize the hazards typically found in your school theatre. WHY DO YOU NEED SO MANY FORMS AND SIGNS IN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE? Employers are required by law to provide safety documentation, warnings, posters and signs. However most educational administrators don't have the specialization to assess the dangers inherent in a school theatre and consequently don't know what forms and signs to provide explicitly for their school theatres. This applies to senior high school theatres, junior high school theatres, middle school theatres, and even some elementary schools that have theatres. Even if your performance space is an "auditorium" or "multi-purpose room", school theatre safety and security applies to you! Your school theatre is not just another classroom. Classrooms don't have hundreds of pounds of equipment hanging over students' heads that students operate, and catwalks hanging 30' in the air that students walk on. A high school theatre facility contains many mechanical, electrical and other physical hazards, which can constitute a risk of injury or in extreme cases, death, especially to those unfamiliar with the procedures and practices of the industry. So it's essential to enforce school theatre safety and security rules to everyone who uses your school theatre. But you can't be everywhere with everyone all the time. It is therefore imperative to post signs and warnings, and require forms to be filled out and checklists adhered to. Of course it's very time consuming to created all of the signs and documentation that you need to help make your theatre a safe place, so this book will save you time! This is one book where you actually have the author's permission to cut up the book and photocopy the pages.
