Theatre Rental Collaborative – Update

I talked about the Theatre Rental Collaborative a couple of weeks ago. We just had our second meeting and it was very successful.

This week we agreed to pass on clients to another theatre in the group instead of just telling them you can’t help. In an effort to help that we agreed to pay 2% of the net income of that rental to the theatre that passed them on. Hopefully this will help move clients around within our group as opposed to going to for profit theatres or hotels.

We have also started meeting at each others theatres. We get a tour of each others spaces which raises questions that we might have about operation or budgeting. It starts the conversation that then carries over into dinner.

Not only are we learning a lot at every meeting but we get to constantly share ideas and build closer relationships with other theatres. Our next meeting will be in September.
