Theatre quotes are great!
When I go to NYC, I usually grab as many/all the brochures of the shows currently playing. I have some of those hanging in my room. Even if I haven't seen it - the covers are usually bright and cool looking.
Check with any local theatre house that hosts touring shows. I'm close to the Blumenthal in Charlotte and they collect their posters and do a big poster event each year. They just give them away.
I also took red butcher paper (free at my school) and "framed" my dry erase board and my smart board with it. Cheap, but made it look like theatre curtains.
I had a bulletin board two years ago that looked like this that I loved...I want to have a more current one since that's old news now. I loved the idea though.

Hi Everyone!
I recently accepted the position of Educational Outreach Coordinator at Reno Little Theater, and am working on making the classroom space at the Theater my own. I was wondering if anyone had any genius ideas for decorating--quotes or images to paint on the walls, ways to use the space effectively, ways to make it look inviting and exciting to be in...
Right now, it is basically a blank canvas. It's a single room, but we have lots of wall space and some shelving in there already, as well as a computer for sign-ins for classes and workshops.
We just finished our first test-run of classes, and are pushing for January as our big class enrollment! I am so excited, but I want the space for the kids to be memorable!
