Virtually every paid theater (or should that be "theatre"?) job that I've ever had has had a better physical layout than community stuff. I've not done Broadway, but I've played traveling Broadway shows up in Saint Louis, the Municipal Opera there, and similar work in Louisville back in the early 1970s, and all were better provided than the typical community operation.
We have one community theater down to the south of here, in Lake Jackson TX, which has a spectacular older college theater, provided with one of the most magnificent orchestra pits that I've ever seen. And, they have just opened a new performance space in which (I have been assured) the pit is even better. I'm doing Bye, Bye Birdie! there next season, and will report if it comes with individual ventilation, built in snack bar, and a massage table at that time.
For me, the least pleasant part of community theater is the inevitable technical rehearsal period, when the dramatic folks screw around, act giddy and in general waste time while the orchestra sits there and stews.
