Budget Write-up
This budget is a forecast of the potential cost of putting on a full, professionally crafted production of Tennessee Williams's //The Night of the Iguana//. Renting the main stage of the Fine Arts Theatre is a straight forward expense; as is renting the play. Calculating the costume budget was composed of checking prices of wardrobe choices and compiling those estimates for creation. To figure out the salaries for the actors and staff, I researched what SAG-AFTRA standard rates were and current average actor salaries are in Atlanta. Those rates led me to conclude that $1030.00 would be the optimal pay for the five planed shows. All actors will be payed the same rate. That rate will also get used to pay the production staff which numbers ten personnel: the four members of LMRS production, a sound engineer, a social media manager, and four stage hands or general assistance as needed. The budget projected for the set includes cost of materials, expenses for renting lights, and pay for construction. The budget for advertisement is comparatively low, as stated in the ad plan, the goal was cost effective advertising.
