Thank you, David, and to all of you who have responded to my questions.  The information you've provided is going to be a big help as we attempt to decide whether or not to pare down our upcoming season.  We're squeezing blood from a stone!

We have recently revamped our season to be as follows:
 
9 mainstage productions, 7 performances each (2 weekends)
4 children's workshop productions (1 weekend for performances 3-5 shows, depending on the size of the cast)
2 one-act play weekends (one weekend of performance each)
1 1/2 day workshops (one adult, one for kids)
 
We have a 93-seat performance space and recently acquired a large room next door for extra rehearsal space. We lease our building.

2.  How many performances per production?


We manage a 350 seat auditorium and have a rehearsal hall that can accommodate black box productions, although it is seldom used for such.
  1. Our season is 10 months
  2. We do 5 main stage productions, 1 holiday show for families, 1 youth musical, and some arbitrary number of workshop/for member pieces
  3. Main stage shows are 10 performances + 1 preview. Family show is 6 performances + 1 preview. Youth musical is 2 performances. All others are usually 1 off.
  4. In addition we handle about 30 rental performances, usually local dance schools

-Season is January to December, so a mainstage show opens ever other month (even number months)
 
-Six Mainstage shows - this year all straights, 4 weekends each, total of 12 performances of each show.
 
-Two "Studio Series" shows - productions that are not appropraite for the mainstage due to content ect., one weekend, four performances of each.
 
-Eight weeks of childrens programming over the summer (June to August), number of performances vary based on the show
 
-One collabrative production with Northern Arizona University, three weeks, total of nine performances

1. our first show goes up in januray always a dinner theatre
 
2.  we do a dinner thetare in january, and stage play in april/may, another dinner theatre in august, a childrens show in august and a stage show in November
 
3.  we usually do 5-6 performances for stage plays, dinner theatres are performed at local restaurnat venues and those perfrormancers vary from 4-8 teh childrens show follows a week long workshop and gets one showing.  musicals(when we do them) get 6 performances and we always plan for more.
 
we are a small group in a small town but are fortunate to own our own theatre, an old converted barn (we just bought it:))
