I feel I need to chime in because I produce the same number of shows as you, but instead of a musical I have a dance show. We invite guest designers in some categories, and have some stock, but tend to do a lot of esoteric productions that require shopping. So what I can offer is that ONE of my full show budgets (rights, fees, materials for all design areas etc but not student labor, that comes out of a different budget) is equal to your entire season budget, about $20K per show, which is fairly sufficient for the location and scope we do.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Feel free to reach our directly if you’d like more information.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

<span style="" class="">I am a university professor running a one-person theatre department. I produce three plays a year including a musical. I have had the privilege of doing this at this university for 15 years now. As we all know the costs for royalties
and the costs for building materials has increased a great deal over the last couple of years. However, my budget has remained the same for a decade. I have asked for increases to the budgets, but administration believes the budgets I have for each production
is sufficient. I need your help. Can I get your feedback? Are my budgets sufficient?<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-variant-caps:normal;text-align:start;word-spacing:0px">
