Hi, 

We have a very nice theatre in our high school, but the entry is just an inset set of double doors with a name plaque (name of the theatre) over the top. The walls on both sides are brick and there's also a design pattern in some of the brick. It's difficult to hang show posters or awards on the brick surface and we use a simple table and chairs set up for box office and for concessions. We have a fairly large lobby area (with several trophy cases for athletic and academic awards)  and there are hallways off it leading to the rest of the school. I've long wanted to create or purchase some kind of display area - I'm not real keen on trophy cases even those designed more for plaques. We recently won a national award and need/want to display it prominently. We could spend some $ on this but not alot - maybe $300.00. Any suggestions!! Anyone have a wonderful simple design idea that could frame the doors of a high school theatre entrance with space to hang framed posters and display awards?

Thank you! Jane

Hi Jane! Is there any chance you could share a photo of the space so we can get a better idea of what you might need? Also, are there any measurements that might limit your choice?
