Open to School of Theater students only.
Developing real world budgets drawn from CalArt's
productions and set in a LORT Season for a
regional theater. Each student is required to
select a production, place it in a season
calendar with a negotiated length of run, then to
research the necessary union rates, applicable
work rules and royalties, etc. that apply. A
budget format is provided by the instructor and
the students build a budget for their production.
Final project is the completion of the budget
which includes analysis of expense to income. In
addition we involve producing faculty, design and
technical faculty to instruct on specific
elements critical to defining expenses.
