It shouldn't since the venue is equipped with a bunch of air conditioning backstage and on stage, however if there was overheating equipment there are plenty of fire extinguishers around the stage and venue in general.
What is your Health and Safety like at the venue?
Around our school we didn't find many first aid kits apart from E Block. There was a few more extinguishers and in the drama studio the fire exit was obstructed which is a safety hazard. Not all the fire exits were marked. In some places the fire exit stickers were falling off. In the hall the curtains covered the doors which in case of an emergency would be a safety hazard. There ware not many fire bells around the school either. Also we only found one fire assembly point all the way in B block.
