Description:
In the world of Fringe (or Off-Off Broadway) theater, a strong debate has been raging for years -when you're producing a low/no-budget production, how on earth can you make it happen and still treat everyone involved in an open, honest and ethical manner?Where do you stand with profit-share productions when you can't afford to pay Union minimums?

It is aimed at actors, directors and producers in the early stages of their careers; drama schools; and further and higher education establishments. The methodologies outlined in the book are transferable across all countries in which arts funding is difficult to secure. The time for going to the Establishment with the begging bowl is over. There need be no more excuses. The author will even show you how to start your own theater company for only a tenner...
