[SML] Theatre Budget Help

The $10k might be enough to cover the royalties. Might.   If you are able to build stock Hollywood walls and platforms with interchangeable legs, that'll help I've building everything from scratch every time, but it's still a substantial investment in time and materials up front.

Including the ‘big’ musical. However, the budget I have for these shows is ridiculous and I am trying to explain to my administration that the money is not enough for what they expect from me and the department. I should also mention that I do not have any other money allocated to me except for the show budgets and a travel budget for my students and I. The budget below is ‘all’ the money I receive each academic year.
