Business (17) - Task F - Venue & Rehearsal Room Fee

Rehearsal rooms:
We are using C5 as our rehearsal room. We have planned to do 15 rehearsals, all of two hours in length. The cost of this room is £15 an hour, and therefore £30 a rehearsal. The overall rehearsal period will cost us £450.

Hall Hire:
By speaking to the office staff at the school, I have found out that the hall is rented out at £30 an hour. The dress and tech run would be approximately 4 hours long each, thus costing £240 in total for the two nights. On a show day, we would be requiring the hall for 3.5 hours (due to the audience coming in and leaving) but we would round it up to 4 hours, due to packing away afterwards. Therefore to hire the hall for one show, we would be required to pay £120, so multiplying this by 4 (for the four shows) would cost us £480. Therefore, the cost of the hall for the four shows (£480) plus the hire fee for the two rehearsals (£240) would total £720.

Flats:

A quote I received for two flat panels (of 2.7m by 1.2m with two colour reversible covers) were £449 and a set brace at £94. This would therefore cost £1086. This quote was from Frameset UK, who are a London based company. Thankfully, the hall hire covers the cost of hiring the flats as well, and so we will not be requiring to buy new flats, thus saving us over £1000. Fortunately our hall hire also covers the use of steel decking too, so we do not need to pay out for this either.

Total:
The total price for the rehearsal room usage and the hall fees would be (450+720) £1170.
