Renting out theatre / playhouse to stage first run of a musical / play? Advice?
Alright, my fiance wants to rent out a theatre/playhouse to perform the first run of a new Musical Comedy he has written. He wants to produce the whole thing basically as he has written the script, music etc. He found a place that he can rent for a decent rate. We will make all the sets ourselves and he hopes to produce cds he can sell, print broshures, etc.
This is a for a first run new musical never produced before.
Any playwrights / producers out there that can give pointers on things we should look out for? Things we may be not thinking about? Advice?
Marianne has some great pointers for you. Follow them Then as a producer for about 40 years, I can add that the reason for her tips are that your continued ownership of the property(show) is paramount. Next is making money, not in the future by selling CD;s (what if noone likes the music?) but now to cover the costs. Got to deterimine how many tickets you have to sell at what price to break even (regardless of whether he thinks it is important, being broke is depressing, and being in debt and broke is worse) So find some sponsors, sell add in the program, get the newspaper behind you. Try to get them to do a big photo spread of rehearsals. Oh, yeah, I hope you have the show cast and crewed before you rent the venue, and are in rehearsal somewhere as well. Break a leg.
