Not sure if this is legit or not, and obviously I would expect any response to be private and I would not share them with anyone...
As a comparison point in an ongoing financial discussion with my usual pool of "clients", I would like to get some example quotes for a mid-level community theater production of "Chicago"...
Saturday day set-up, Sunday all-day Q2Q and tech run, Mon-Wed eve tech/dress, Thu preview, then four weekends of Fri & Sat eve & Sun mat
18 actors all on wireless (Sennheiser EW100 or better, Countryman B3 or better)
Three-piece band (digital piano, upright bass, small drum kit; pro musicians)
Proper mixing (digital board, X32 or better, good dynamics/EQ, DCA/VCA cues, line-by-line mixing)
Source and program simple sound effects and pre/int/post-show music (QLab playback or whatever, perhaps cued by SM)
House has its own PA but must provide mixer and everything upstream
Probably just one person, assistance provided by production for busy parts (mics-on etc.)
North Bay Area, California
Ballpark, what would you charge to come in and do that. No need for details, but please quote labor and gear separately.
To be clear, I won't be hiring any of you. I just need the numbers as ammunition in a discussion. I hope that's OK.
