Since nobody else has responded, I'll take a shot: I'd say grounded--while some older homes have ungrounded plugs, I'd be surprised if a public venue didn't offer a grounded outlet. Seems like that would be a code violation. Of course, it would still be prudent to bring a 3 prong to 2 prong adaptor (I've heard them called "cheaters") just in case. While it's not likely, there is a serious risk injury if you use a 2 prong adaptor if there are other electrical wiring issues. There was a news story here a while back of a minister who was electrocuted while using a wireless mic at a baptism. My recollection is that while the baptismal font played a role, the real problem was that the whole church had been grounded to an electric water tank heater, and it created a closed loop.
