Did you know? To put on a show, it actually costs about $50 per patron per show. Most people don't know that only 18.5% of our revenue comes from ticket sales. Another 11.6% comes from the production fees that parents pay to have their kids participate in their show. Heights Youth Theatre makes up the difference in a variety of ways, and we do a lot of work behind the scenes to make it happen. Last year 43.8% of our income came in the form of grants. We also run several fundraisers throughout the year that account for another 20%. And we offer ads & sponsorship opportunities to local businesses that accounts for 6.8% of our revenue.
The bottom line? Every dollar counts. Our annual budget is approximately $140,000--and that goes to pay for salaries, rent, licensing fees, production expenses, insurance, and everything else we need to keep the lights on. The shows must go on!
