<p>Perhaps you need to recharacterize the theate as a teaching
laboratory for the theatrical arts Or similar. In educational
terms it is no different from a sculpture studio or a chemistry
laboratory. <br>
</p>
<p>By concretely tying it to an educational mission to create
employment - ready graduates of a technical theatre program
instead of as a wood and metal working shop supporting the theatre
product you might get the facilities person to see the light.</p>
