If you only need a hazer for one show a year, it makes sense that the other school in the next district could borrow it for their one show per year that needs it, and you can borrow from them the blacklight fixtures you need for that kid who wants to outdo blue man group.

	This is an excellent suggestion, but … unless “Once a year” is actually every couple of years or so, this might not work so well. At least around here, every single school in this region seems to hold their annual musical during the same week or two in the spring!

	This also makes it difficult to impossible for cast and crew to see other schools’ productions.
