oversee production budgets. First is waiting for Sandy Robbins to select and sequence the shows. I am then responsible for the production calendar for the year. • Next I figure out what will be the number of people and how much overtime is needed to make these shows happen. This results in an initial, estimated budget/cost - looking out about a year. We refine the budgets as we get closer to the shows and know more about them. • The REP typically does six shows: five in Thompson Theatre, one in the Studio Theatre. • I can make smaller dollar budget decisions, but Sandy Robbins decides on large expenditures. • Average REP costs in the Thompson Theatre: $15000 to $30000 for Sets. About the same expense for Costumes (it can be $3000 for a single costume for a Period Show). $1000 to $3000 for Lighting. $600 for Sound. Props $3000 to $7000. • REP productions are top quality. If these were to be done on Broadway, they would cost 5 to 10 times as much. We have our own Scene, Paint and Costume shops. • We look for cost savings all the time, e.g.; how can we spread out work to minimize overtime? Our Technical Director and our designers routinely look for savings. It's a collaborative process. • Lack of planning time can contribute to higher Patrick Orndorff, REP Production Manager (Guest #2)

costs. • The university actually contracts with the REP three years out. So, we get a three-year budget and can consider reallocating money among the years if we see a need. • Examples of some big expenses we've experienced: $30000 for projectors in The Mountaintop. In Tartuffe: $12000 for the grand

blocking for the actors - which allowed for efficient rehearsals on the finished set in the theatre. • For the first time we are doing two coproductions this year: A Flea in Her Ear with the Westport Country Playhouse in Connecticut and Twelfth Night with Theatre For A New Audience in Brooklyn, NY. While there is added complexity (logistics, set storage, transport and reconstruction) there are advantages: more money available since the production is supported by two companies, good exposure for the REP, and establishing relationships with other companies. • Theatre vs. Opera: The director is in charge in Theatre while the Conductor (The Maestro!) is in charge for Opera. Theatre plans out about a year, but Opera plans out two years (or more) in order to secure available singer-performers. • Expect to announce next season's shows shortly. • The REP production process starts with hiring the director. The director is in charge and will need to share their vision of the production and select the appropriate designers.
