Executive Summary The purpose of this document is to report the proposed decisions in the planning and administering of the H.M.S Pinafore production activities. I, Francis Vanden Hoven, have been selected as producer of this production. Thus, as producer I have overall responsibility for all aspects of the show. I am expected to plan the show’s major phases, delegate authority to several managers, provide moral support, and ensure that revenues and expenses meet budgeted targets. In knowing these roles and responsibilities I knew it would be best to begin by meeting with people involved that had experience with the Society. I’ve organized the activities as discussed in this meeting and was able to find the critical path, prepare a Gantt …show more content…
Last year’s budget had been $28,000, which I believe will be around the same for this year. Although some paid staff is hired, the Society relies heavily on volunteers in all areas of the production. Most of which are students and about 40% of the cast and crew came from in and around the community. The amount necessary for the fixed costs such as honoraria, theatre shop fees, costumes, and radio and television advertisements totals over $14,000, therefore careful consideration and planning must be done to manage the variable expenses. To better prepare for the tasks ahead I scheduled a meeting with my assistant Deb Carrarro, the costume coordinator Mona Bryden, and the artistic director Elizabeth Van Doorne. Each of the women had experience with similar roles in previous years, making their knowledge vital to the success of this production. After the meeting held on September 5th I put together the information discussed and came up with the following: Statement of Work (SOW) The activities involved to certify the H.M.S Pinafore performance takes place in Talbot Theater from January 13th to January 22nd must be organized and executed in such a way to ensure the best quality production at the best costs possible. A well-developed schedule must be established and followed precisely to guarantee a successful 40th anniversary production for the Society, within the $28,000 budget from the USC.

anet Dobbs, Vice President of the Greater Euclid Little Theatre (GELT), proposed a budget to the GELT board members, within the proposed budget, Janet Dobbs addressed four points, the first issue was regarding the unrealistic estimates for revenue and expenditures, in the second point, Dobbs should the contrasts of the expenditures and revenues over the past six years. Third, the debt crisis was addressed, and how the crisis would not be eliminated by balancing the 2002 budget. Lastly, the budget touched upon the expenditure to reduce debt and increase profit. The board rejected the budget for many reasons. The budget reduced expenditures, most of the board members wanted to increase Spaulding’s salary, which was not included in the budget, and some believe that revenue for GELT would increase if the theatre sold every ticket for performances. Board members like Roberta Mackie, said “by limiting revenue projections, the budget committee was “constraining our ability to dream” and that “high revenue estimates would give the organization incentive to work to make them come true”.
The creation of the 2018 show made great strides in professionalism and crafting a product that with further development could be sustainable and ticket worthy. Many worked very hard with hope of insuring a new sustainable vision and execution for the Tableaux. The task was 85% complete, it was with the understanding that we would continue to refine it as the rewrite task was massive, and time had run out for effective staging
Labor and other miscellaneous costs. I am asking for $50,000 to add to the budget to allow for unexpected expenses. Because it is impossible to predict how much labor and supplies will cost, However, this extra amount may not be needed if negotiations lower the other costs.
Through a variety of literary and cinematic techniques respectively, John Steinbeck’s Of Mice And Men and Sean Penn’s Into The Wild illustrate how the fulfilment of one’s life, and their pursuit of happiness, hinge upon friendship, dreams, and one’s attitude towards life and happiness in general. Steinbeck’s 1937 novella Of Mice And Men illustrates the importance of friendship and dreams in a context of hardship and economic downturn. This is done by using George and Lennie and their dream of landownership and material possession to demonstrate how dreams give people the hope required to drive themselves, and how friendship offers them the ability to keep going even if their own spirit should break. Sean Penn’s 2007 film Into The Wild
Our budget does not include staffing because we will be using celebrity volunteers, cosplayer volunteers, and our own staff. Toys “R” Us will pay the staff their normal wages, but reallocate their time.
Of Mice And Men The novel ‘Of Mice and Men’ reveal life in the 1930’s. A time very diverse to ours. Steinback, the author of this novel wrote about various issues such as lifestyle of the travelling ranchmen, loneliness, friendship, the American dream, racism and sexism. The book is about two migrant labourers, George Milton and Lennie Small in California.
The president of production of Hanson Production (Joanne Shen) was facing several problems related to the making of different decisions about their current production. Joanne was facing the classic dilemma regarding quantity, quality and price. Shen’s main concern was what to do with her current production, a large-scale musical with a cast of 20. Considerably, amount of work still needed to be done to finalize the show
In the eyes of several, the Louisiana Purchase may well be recognized as one of the all-time greatest real estate deal. As Paul Leicester stated in his work of The Works of Thomas Jefferson “Jefferson at the stroke of a pen essentially doubled the territorial extent of the United States.” On April 30, 1803, U.S. representatives located in Paris approved to purchase 828,000 square miles at the very cost-efficient amount of fifteen million dollars that spread from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, and from the Gulf of Mexico all the way north to Canada. To better realize how inexpensive the United States purchased that land for was about eighteen dollars and some change per square mile. Soon enough, the newly purchased land of western territory became six states and portions of nine present-day states. As one could imagine this great purchase did not happen without a buildup of time, and without many factors leading up to the Louisiana Purchase. Below are a couple of factors such as the Spanish control of New Orleans and Napoleon’s burning desire for the Caribbean Island of Haiti.
The costumes for the actors were well put together for the timing of the story. The timing was about the actor portraying about a young girl being in high school and in this scene, the costumes were in the year 1983. The actor also wore a beautiful wedding dress with lace trimming and shoes to match. The bouquet of flowers added color and shine that brought out the dress and shoes. Make up was not used,

Earlier this year I was able to take part in a local production of Pippin the Musical, by the South Coast Coral and Arts Society (SCCAS). SCCAS has been performing in Victor Harbor for over 60 years and have produced many memorable productions, such as the Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Jesus Christ Superstar, and most recently My Fair Lady where I had the pleasure of playing Freddy Eynsford-Hill the main love interest. Winning many local awards and a few state awards SCCAS has proved that they are ready to step up into more complex and dynamic productions. Robert Bell, was very gracious to receive the Adelaide theatre guide award for his performance as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, was determined to bring something fresh, and exciting
Throughout the history of mankind there has always been war. Nations have always had disagreements with one another and the result is the death of many young soldiers. Although many men die in war, not as many men die if the war was fought to win and not only to stop the enemy. However, the wars that have not been fought to win, but only to stop a force, have had much greater a loss than those fought to win. In the Korean War the United States did not fight to win but just to subjugate the North Korean forces that were annihilating the landscape and its people. Although the Korean War was fought to protect the defenseless people, the casualties and other catastrophes that were brought upon the United States soldiers
Of Mice and Men was written during a period of racism. In the 1960's it was important for everyone to get along with eachother because not everyone was equal. George and Lennie showed a great part in friendship throught the whole book. At the ranch in Selinas mostly everyone showed friendship in some way. Friendship was a great factor when the book was published because of all the racism going on at the time.

Throughout the course of this project, I was the team’s accountant, I was the most directly involved with deciding the economics and budget of the groups. Balancing the needs and wants of the group as well as the finances was a huge challenge. For example, I wanted to buy the Beverly Hills six hundred dollar tiles, sadly due to my limited resources I had to stick with four one hundred dollar purple Auntie Ems tiles. My opportunity cost,
