Creating & Managing Budgets for Theatre with Steph Connell

Tuesday 29th March 2022

6pm – 7.30pm

ONLINE

Budgets can be scary but working out how much a project costs and factoring in enough to tackle any surprises that might come along early on is key to a successful project… and good night’s sleep once it’s on its feet.

In this session, freelance producer, Steph Connell, will take you through the basics of budgeting, looking at three examples: a simple research and development budget, a production budget and a tour budget. She’ll also talk about the pitfalls, things to watch out for and common mistakes… most of which have been learnt through making them herself.

This session will be relaxed throughout, providing the opportunity for you to ask as many questions as you like.  

This online event is FREE TO attend. It will take place via Zoom. Places are LIMITED.
