<p class="MsoNormal">Again, I am asking for your help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am a one person department in a small university in the upper plains. We have just been given an amazing new theatre facility in which we can do our three to four shows a year. 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can you please share what your typical budget is for a straight show and a musical and other needs? It would be greatly appreciated in my efforts to get admin to understand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, if I am way off here and these budgets look good to you, please tell me. I need to know.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is our ‘total’ yearly budget…..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Show #1 - $3500<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Show #2 - $3500<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Musical - $10,000<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Travel $1500<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is all the money I receive each academic year. This is basically the amount I have had to work with for the last twelve years. I need your input.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
