ABSTRACT
Theatres are not simply buildings, but resemble complex organisms with internal systems dependent on one another to further their mission. The bricks and mortar, tools, shops, stages, costumes, props, scenery and especially the people make these institutions the places thousands flock to when they wish to escape, reflect, and dream. Theatres are also like second homes, as a place to nourish our bodies and minds, rest, and grow. Like any home, they require a great many things to keep them and their occupants operating the best they can.
