I have 153 seats plus two wheelchair parking spaces. The theatre very rarely fills, though -- my average nightly attendance is usually somewhere between 5 and 50 people.

I usually play one show per night, 7 nights a week, plus Saturday and Sunday afternoon matinees if I have a kids show. I close two days per year -- Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This gives me a once-yearly opportunity to paint the auditorium floor and give it a chance to dry and have the smell dissipate.

I rarely play more than one show per week, but maybe once or twice a year I do that. For example, I played Miracles from Heaven at 7pm last week from Friday to Thursday (last night) and 10 Cloverfield Lane at 9pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. But starting tonight (Friday) I'll be playing The Huntsman at 8pm, every night up to and including next Thursday. I watched it myself this afternoon, and now the people around here will have 7 opportunities to see it over the course of this coming week.

That's pretty much my usual schedule and routine.
