<p>WOW I wish we had the money to go crazy at our HS. I am the Musical director and choreographer, We do 2 musicals and 1 straight play a year. Our budget is 15,000 for the year. I do my own costumes, yes I sit and sew for hours. but it saves money after all by the time we get the rights, deal with tech and sound there is not a lot left for other costs, But I feel very good because our productions look like a million dollars. Recently I saw a nyc production of Dames at Sea and knew I could have brought it in for a tenth of the cost! Well I guess some of us still appreciate the cost of a dollar!</p>
