For me there are stages I use
Safety rules I want followed (As the production dictates) This every crew hand must sign off on.
Pre check list. Over time a given venue will have a common template you might be able to copy.Tech checks, call numbers,…
My rule of thumb is: If you can't find it easily, keep it. If they're valuable then you won't be able to replace them if you need them later. And you most likely will. Clean them up and set them aside somewhere.
my 2cents: We keep them with an attempt at extra reverence, and fix them up to rent them out with high replacement values (when they're not needed for our productions, of course). I've built custom carts (with old otherwise-unusable furniture caste…
Gina, I can only tell you what I have and my experience using photography in theatre. I hope your not taking pictures during a performance. A rehearsal is better because if the cast, crew and stage manager can approve, the lights can be tweaked up f…
Out in Aurora IL. there is a small theatre company and they put all their props on display. hanging on walls, ceilings, they store them in this fashion. I thought it was clever to do because you always knew what you had and if you had room to add…

I used to keep nicer antique items in a seperate area - a little more protected than the main space or locked away in a closet. If you have too many folks with access and little respect for using items then I would sell them and replace with replica…
I was sorting through a prop closet and found that several items, we keep with little reverence, are actual prized antiques! What do you do? Sell? Rent? Keep?
You didn't say if latex or oil paint was used. If it's latex sending it to get cleaned and re-stained, Your local supplier can give you more suggestions.
Good liuck!
