I've worked in and around community theaters in other states, and SCT is exceptionally good. Exceptionally good.<BR/>The biggest single line item for professional theaters, however (so Bobo is told), is actor salaries. The point is that payroll is harder to cover when you need, in a given week, to pay 10 salaries instead of five (or whatever the exact numbers are).<BR/>The problem, with any organization, may lie in not doing sufficient planning to pay all those salaries (and more).Bobo the Theater Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543482882758983557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15527783.post-27600811620855830822008-09-11T12:19:00.000-07:002008-09-11T12:19:00.000-07:00still - isn't like over $70,000 in tickets.
