NaziCow -- have you gotten a copy of our How-To Guide? It has a page dedicated to contacting theaters. It could be very helpful to you in locating a theater for a local event.
Don't give up if you haven't heard back. I averaged 3 calls per theater before I even spoke to someone who could give me firm pricing and information. And I called every single theater in town before I found a suitable one. It can be frustrating, but once you're successful, it makes it all worth it.
The most important thing is -- don't expect anyone to call you back. Most of the theaters I called had never heard of our organization. It wasn't until I started asking serious questions about auditorium size, online ticket sales, deposits that they knew I meant business. But first I had to actually get someone on the phone!
