There are shit-stupid amounts spent on producing gawd-awful television shows and small but quality production companies have to squeegee their way to the curtain call. Crazy. I'm glad the posting was useful to you and I've got my fingers x'ed for you to get that grant! A. I think what I have the hardest time getting my head around is the unequal distribution of money.

We find a play or develop our own script and then we spend months applying for grants to the government and private foundations. For this show in particular, we received one grant of $1,000- that was from 8 applications. So, no, this show was not funded by grants but from three fundraisers, selling ads in the program, getting local businesses to sponsor us, and the generosity of donations from friends and family, as well as ticket sales. We work under Equity contracts and it is not a lot of money. As for the producing of the play, it began in January and just ended, and my payment for that is knowing that we put on a great show that will tour BC and beyond in the years to come. It's true, it is very hard to make a decent living in theatre- but on the side I waitress, do voice over work, sing, and will do pretty much any job that pays money. Maybe in the future I can make a living running a theatre company, but until then, I will try to be satisfied with finding great plays and great roles for myself and then producing the whole damn thing!
