Analy drama costs … did you know?
- Royalties to mount a production range from $300 - $2,000; that’s
about $3,000 per year!
- Professional & technical work (lighting, sound, etc.) costs
up to $3,000 per year.
- Stipends for teachers * (choreographer, musical director, costumer)
run about $3,000 per year.
- Equipment replacement and repair could cost several thousand
dollars per year – if we had the $$! We just bought a new scrim
($950) but desperately need a new cyclorama (that screen at the back
of the stage). Other theatre maintenance has been deferred indefinitely.
- Hardware costs about $1,000 per year – not including lighting
instruments (up to $500 to replace), lamps (up to $80 each), and gaffer
tape (up to $25 per roll).
