Small scale theatre budget form research

Research to estimating costs/income:

Ticket/programme sales: For these, I estimated around 70% of tickets are sold each performance, as well as programmes sold

https://www.kickstarter.com/ - For information on crowdfunding, I researched this website and explored projects focusing on theatre productions. 

https://www,Josef-weinberger.com/ - For information on the costs of licensing the production so you are able to perform it, I researched this site which I was able to find the royalty fee = 15% of total ticket sales

www.helloprint.co.uk/flyers‎ - I was able to find a good pricing with this site for my flyer printing

http://www.programmeprinting.co.uk/collections/programme-printing/products/a4-booklet-printing - On this site I found a pricing for printing the programmes a4 size

http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/discover-more/welcome-to-the-national-theatre/about-the-national-theatre/finance-and-funding - Using he National Theatre as a base, I estimated a grant I would receive from the Arts Council England which would represent 15% of the total income.

Venues/technicians/equipment/staff - As stated in a previous blog, I rang each company and gathered info on the rental prices of the venues, and any additional hiring including lighting/sound technicians, front of house staff etc.

http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/props-hire-store - For pricing of possible props needed, I found that the National Theatre company rent out various props from a large collection to productions which includes amateur organisations, at reasonable costs according to the reviews

Costumes - I estimated the pricing at arround  £200 as the clothing will be part self-supplied by the performers, and part supplied from small businesses or charity shops. This is because the style of clothing is fairly easy to get a hold of a a small price, unlike period plays etc.

Makeup - This was at £0 as the performers will do their own makeup, as once again it is fairly basic everyday look
