Mr. Hart,

I strongly suggest that you ask yourself and your institution a number of
questions before querying others (who may be very different from you) about
their experiences with large format theaters.

Initial questions might be:
        Why am I considering this theater?
        How does it fit with my current and future program?
        What other ways (if any) do i have of accomplishing the same objectives?
        What is the local and regional competiton?

Only if you can get past these and other questions that are germane to your
particular situation do you need to worry about the experiences of others.
