Production Parents and Students

As the caliber of our program has grown, we strive to raise the caliber of our productions, while ensuring the existence and growth of future productions.

All productions are funded through the Pennsylvania Performing Arts Company, a non profit organization, therefore the each production is required to have an operating budget. Your production fee goes directly into assisting us with meeting this budget. The primary cost for putting on a production is as follows:

• Rental of the Facility, which is by the hour averaging $100-$200.00.
• Cost of Custodial and Security Guard, usually $48.00 an hour per person.
• Lighting and sound person. Approximately $500.00 to $1000.00.
• Advertising: Flyers and programs.
• Production Assistant: Makes programs/flyers/letters/gather props- in house to keep the cost down.
• Props/costumes- Your fee is a rental fee which doesnt cover all costs. We are fortunate enough to use some of our own costumes, but must also rent and purchase additional costumes.
• Rehearsal Salaries and Choreography Salaries and License fees.
• Costume Mistress: A Person who gathers the costumes, alters, decorates, cleans and maintains costumes and chooses them.
• Sets/Props: Cost of supplies and cost to construct.
• Professional Guests: Utilization of professionals raises the caliber of the production and more importantly provides invaluable education to our dancers and audience.

As a testament to the growth and commitment of our dancers and to raise the level of our productions, two shows have been scheduled. In order to ensure we can afford two shows at our current budget, we are asking the following:

• Each performer/family to sell one $25.00 ad for our program.

We do realize this is a very difficult economic time for our families and will continue to keep a cost efficient budget without compromising the performance of our cast. Thank you for our cooperation and efforts.

Sincerely,

The Artistic Staff of the Conservatory of Music and Dance, Pennsylvania Performing Arts Compan
