Re:Topic 5 DQ 1

Good morning Class and professor,

 

After having the chance to sit down with the person in charge of the small theater, there is only one person who runs everything and that is the theater manager/owner. I had the opportunity to speak with her regarding a few different topics but the main questions that I was able to ask were, how difficult is it to run a theater on your own and still keep everything moving forward in a pace that keeps everything sane through the interview process of each person renting the space and making sure everyone is a good fit.  Her response was, keeping it going is done by knowing each of the people that rent the space, having a chance to sit down with them and communicate everything that will be going on, this allows for a communication to start and continue through the time that they will be there. The next question that I asked was how she found and hired her full time fireguard that is there for all public interactions. Her response was: Our fireguard is someone that I met through friends of mine, and he was seeking a part time job that would allow him to be retired and still be able to receive a small form of income, after meeting  and interviewing him, we just clicked, and he has been with me for the past several years and he has done such a great job, always friend, courteous and very trustworthy. When interviewing clients that wish to rent the space, there have to be some negative interviews that you have, what would they be: Some people that I interview to rent the space, are looking for a quick buck, or simply a cheap space that they can come in, utilize and then rush off without taking care of the space, since I have been doing this for a long period of time, I am able to seek those clients out, and know what they are really looking for. I want the experience to be enjoyable for everyone, but I don't want the stress or headache of having to clean up after people when they come through and not take care of the location. My next question to her, which I found to be very informative was: During the interview process of these clients, how do you present the aspect of the fact that they could lose a security deposit for not completing everything that is expected of them? Her response: I simply state it as it is, if you don't take care of the location, then I will not allow you to have your security deposit back, this is something like a written lease for a rental opportunity, and if you don't take care of the location the way that it should be, you will not receive your deposit back, and you won't be able to rent here again. My last question to her,  Do you ever ask the clients why they want to rent the theater space in general? Her response: Just having people interested to rent the space, but there are times that I have to ask this question because they don't seem like a good fit for the space, or they are doing something that may not fit in the space, so I have to ask them why they want to use this space over other spaces. But most of the time they end up being a good fit.

 

Have an amazing day!
