Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Some good points. Indulge my rambling a bit. I did a little work in the nightclub biz, remember DMX, the lighting protocol not the rapper; used to love changing the patterns, especially like the slow, down-facing strobes, made everyone look like an old cartoon.
In an equitable, cultured society, theater and stage arts get all money needed. In America I think many theaters sit empty six days a week, and I hate to see it, but nice things cost money and if the money isn't there....
Hard agree that new installs should use LEDs.
You'd be surprised. I work in a mid-sized theater. We had nearly a thousand rentals last year, and most of them weren't open to the general public as ticketed events. We have three main rental spaces, so that comes out to roughly one rental per day, though there are obviously some days we're empty and some days we're at full capacity. But my point is that you'd only really be aware of the publicly ticketed events, because those are the only ones you'd have access to. Theater spaces are popular for all kinds of events, not just plays and concerts. There are a lot of corporate events that happen throughout the week, for example. But you wouldn't notice those, because they'll tend to happen while you're also at work and they're not announced anywhere because they're private events. Those big corporate events where the sales team wants to circlejerk about hitting their quarterly targets in front of a big PowerPoint presentation? Those need a rental space that is equipped to handle them. We just had a recording session in our main hall, at noon on a Thursday. There are weddings, banquets, parties, luncheons, classes, etc that all need space to host their events.
