This means that <br />we cannot lose any money in this area. No matter how low <br />the ticket sales are, the performance fee is always 70%. <br />The risk in this area of the center is the cost of <br />production. Therefore. sponsorships or grants.must be <br />received to cove the lost of the production. The ticket <br />sales income in the sample is based on 1/7 of the box .nffir_e <br />with seat sales of 300 $6.25 tickets. <br />We intend to apply for a production grant which will cover~ <br />production costs in order to continue to present such <br />offerings as New Plays Rising and other excitinq new theatre. <br />There are many foundations and governmental agencies who <br />will suppport such an endeavour. We have not had time to <br />thoroughly explore this avenue but it is our intention to <br />have applications out by the end of January. This is the <br />riskiest portion of the Theatre. If grants or sponsorships <br />are not received, production will have to be temporarily <br />(end of FY 1990) cut to include only profitable <br />Presentations. <br />No production will be scheduled which is not quaranteed to <br />_over expenses or fall under the grant supportied category. <br />-7- . <br />15 <br />
