150 seats.
space should be flexible
building has to be owned by the company
New plays. Almost exclusively new plays
Productions should run in repertory
14 plays a year (21 performances each)
dedicated rehearsal space.
One of the goals of this theatre is to pay them a living wage, and to have them fully engaged creatively
pay everyone $50,000
we're going to need donors and grants
limit the company to 12 people. It makes the salary a nice even $600,000
No one in this company can only perform one job
we're doing a lot of plays written specifically for these actors
3-4 should be interested and willing to direct. For one company member, that's his or her primary role
wo will be resident playwrights
The tenth company member is the technical director, handling design and supervising construction, etc. Everyone else has to help hang lights, paint sets, etc.
two people mostly handle administration
everyone in the company puts in hours every day to help with this (especially the resident playwrights
So if we had that many plays, and averaged 100 seats sold every night, we'd sell 29,400 seats every year
we'd need about 2,100 subscribers, and then sell 14,700 single seats
Tickets should only cost $15
I don't really need the company to have a specific artistic vision. That would depend on the people involved. It does need to respect the audience, though, and not present plays that come with the attitude that the theatre is doing the audience a favor.
What I'd really want is for this theatre space to be a hive of activity, the kind of place that becomes a central focus of the neighborhood, because there's always so much going on, that the energy oozes through the walls out into the streets. Maybe there would be classes for the kids after school, festivals, an art gallery in the lobby, and more.
