Notes- Vinegar Tom Budget

A1- I have decided to have a Cast of 10 actors, similar to the original production as they coped with
the two males multirolling all male characters, this means we dont have to pay an additional 3
actors with minor roles. Minimum pay for actors week is 314 a week, of which there is 10 of them
and rehearsals are 3 weeks long. Its a Local performance, Gloucester, so there will be no need to
pay for travel costs.

Amount of Actors x (TMA Rehearsal rate x 3 weeks of rehearsals) 10(314 x 3)

A2- As this is minor production with fairly minimal props list etc. I will only be hiring two Assistant
stage managers.

Amount of Assistant stage Managers x (TMA Rehearsal rate x 3 weeks of rehearsals) 2(314 x 3)

A3- Deputy Stage Manager


(TMA Rehearsal rate x 3 weeks of rehearsals) 392 x 3

A4- The Company Stage Manager will be supervising the ASMs during the rehearsal process, as the
theatre has a Stage Manager our CSM can help manage the show and keep on track with the cast.

(TMA Rehearsal rate x 3 weeks of rehearsals) 471 x 3

A4- Director-
(TMA weekly x 3 Rehearsal weeks + Creative fee) 402 x 3 + 877.34
A5- Set/Costume designer- TMA Freelance Designer, Commercial Theatre, Straight Play. Vinegar
Tom is a play with songs therefore not a musical.

A6- Set/Costume designer- TMA Freelance Designer, Commercial theatre, straight Play

A7- Lighting designer- Pay scale Human Capital- Lighting Designers average wage per year.
(Pay scale Human Capital yearly minimum wage / 365 Days in a year= Average daily wage

Average daily wage/ average working day (9-5)) 18,208/ 365=49.88/ 8 = 6.24 per hour

A8- Sound Designer- Pay scale Human Capital- Sound Designers average wage per year.
(Pay scale Human Capital yearly minimum wage / 365 Days in a year= Average daily wage

Average daily wage/ average working day (9-5)) 17,060/ 365= 46.74/8= 5.84 per hour

A9- Composer % of profit?

A10- Production Manager- Estimated compared to other fees.

A11- Producer- Estimated Compared to other fees.

A12- Audition Costs- 2 Audition days at Murray hall Scout Hq, Tuffley. Which is a short bus journey
from the centre of Gloucester. By posting / handing out flyers locally and at Local events building up
to Auditions we dont have to pay for advertising apart from Admin costs such as;
photocopying/Printing. Etc.

(6 Hours of auditioning per day x 2 Audition Days + Admin Fees) (60 x2 + 150)

A13- Scripts/Copying

A14- Rehearsal Rooms- We will be using Murray hall also for rehearsals as it Is only a 15 minute bus
journey from the theatre (A Small travel cost may have to be incorporated)

3 weeks rehearsal (8 hours of rehearsing per day x 5 Rehearsal Days) 3(80 x 5)


A15- Rehearsal Hires- Temporary props and furniture hire for rehearsing. Vinegar Tom requires a
minimal set so temporary props/ furniture should be minimal and in-expensive.

A16- Set Construction- This is an estimation of the resources and the Cost of a carpenter to build
some of the set. The set is fairly minimal so not a lot of construction will be required.

A17- Props-Props can be locally sourced as Gloucester is very rural based in areas which would allow
us to find props for some of the scenes easier. ASMs can also alter or make some props. This is an
estimation of the fees needed.

A18- Costume/Wigs- Costumes Can be Ordered from Amazon and altered by Seamstress to reduce
fees of transporting costume. (Estimation of fees+ seamstress fees)

A19- Masks-

A20- Advertising- Firstly we can advertise on social media platforms (such as; Facebook) for free
which will appeal to some of the younger generation before spending 100 a week in the local
newspapers during the 3 weeks rehearsal period. We will also have an interview with a heart (local
radio show) where we will discuss our upcoming play which will also assist our advertising.

(Cost of advert x 3 rehearsal weeks) (100 x 3)

A21- FOH Displays- This is an estimation based on the cost of local FOH ads in nearby theatres. We
will have One Large display and four small.

A22- Print- 10,000 double sided leaflets (gloss/ A5)

A23- Photographer- This is an estimated fee for taking photos during the dress rehearsal and some
final images will be minimally edited and all images will be presented on a USB at no extra cost. The
photographer is an associate of the business and will offer discounted prices.

A24- Opening Night/ Entertainment-


A25- Get In/Out- This is to cover the possible need of extra hands to carefully more, prop, set,
costume and un-expected costs.

A26- Transport- Cost of two days hire (Get in/ out) of a small minivan to transport props/set from
manufacturers.

B1- Ticket Sales- As the theatre hasnt opened yet I decided to sell the tickets on an average of 10
per ticket. The seating is said to be 800 due to the size of the premises in the popular Gloucester
quays. As we will be performing a popular play and will be the first performance there I estimate
that we will sell approximately 80% of the seating. 10 x 800=8,000 / 100 x 80= 6,400 per
performance, we plan on doing 5 performances a week, 6,400 x 5(performances) =32,000 a week.
The theatre will take 25% of all ticket sales. 25% of 32,000= 8,000. 32,000- 8,000= 24,000 from
ticket sales a week.

B2- Programme Sales- I estimate on selling 200 per performance at 1.50 each, (the cost of printing
is) 0.75 x 5 performances per week. 0.75 profit x 1,000 per week= 750 per week

B3- Mask Making Workshops-

B4- Merchandising- I am going to sell pin badges, mugs and t-shirts with Typography style quotes
from the play and famous feminist quotes etc.
