I am just curious how we weigh in on pay for our staff. If anyone feels comfortable with commenting on pay rate ranges for different positions within their organizations, I would find it helpful. We are in the long process of opening a new
theatre over the next two years. I want to get a feeling of how our thougts compare to other places. I realize this can be a sensative issue for some folks. I am not asking for how much exactly an individual makes, just a range (i.e. we pay our electicians between $** and $** per hour, our Sound engineer makes $***** per year, we pay our Scenic Designers $**** per show). I would also be interested in knowing if health and or life insurance is a part compensation packages as well. In case context is helpful, the space will be a roughly 400 seat
proscenium house with an annual operating budget of $1.25 million for 7 shows (2 musicals) that will run roughly 4 weeks each.
