FINANCIAL INFO:

******************

All funding for our production comes from show fees and ticket sales. A small portion comes from concessions, raffles, and ads.

 

Each Cast Member is responsible for the following:

1. Show Fee: $100, Due by Sept. 12.

All Show Fees are Non-Refundable.

(The show fee averages out to be only $2 - $3 an hour to be involved in the show!)

 

2. Selling 10 tickets to the show.

Although we don't have an official amount of tickets you have to purchase, we hope that each cast member can bring 10 audience members to the show since the majority of the audience comes from friends & family of the cast. (Tickets are non-refundable.)
