Theatre Rental


Woodland Theatre is used by many groups, both local and regional, to bring various programs to this rural area.

Some groups just need the theater and the work lights.  Others need stage lighting.
It has become necessary to publish these rental policies so that everyone is treated equally
and the theater equipment is protected from those who don't know how to use it.
