Guest Artist Fund
An alternative to making donations to the general fund of the Theatre Group is to direct your gift specifically toward THE GUEST ARTIST FUND at the SBCC Foundation.
One of the great experiences for an outstanding student actor is to work along side a professional actor. In past years we have employed from one to three Equity Guest Artists each season to improve the quality of the production and enhance the experience for our students.
The Equity Guest Artist contract calls for a weekly contribution from The Theatre Group of about $650. (This includes salary, pension and welfare). Since most guest artists come from out of town, it is also necessary for us to house actors according to Equity rules. This adds about $600 more per week to our costs, bringing the total to approximately $1,250/week. The average Equity contract covers a five week rehearsal period and an additional three week performance run for an eight week total. The average cost to fully employ one out-of-town actor for one show, is about $10,000.
By giving to the Guest Artist Fund, you enhance the experience for our community and student actors, improve the quality of our productions, and allow us to keep tickets affordable.
