In theatre you can spam click the cranks to make them go faster, this is used in the current WR for console and the WR for Any% if you want to check it out.

To explain a bit more, it takes about 5 or 6 cranks for a prop to be in the correct position, on the PC version the props will only move after one full rotation of the crank. On the console version the cranks do not have this limit, so you can press them as fast as you want (even though the cranks appear to have an animation it does not impact the props).

There are now subcategories for console runs. A significant strat was found on console which makes console faster than PC so due to there being an actual difference they have been seperated

If you go up the stairs as librarian, the paintings room will despawn, after messing around you can get kinda close to theater. Though this wouldnt save minutes of time it would save 5 or so seconds of not waiting for the librarian to hit the stage. Is there a way into the theater via the painting room out of bounds?

i've tried jumping at all different angles to get out but nothing seems to work. If there is a clipable wall its too far away from the doors
