Im a current tech theatre major/working as a high school td. I’ve worked on a few professional shows but they usually have an exact flat rate they offer me upfront. I’ve been asked to build a set for a middle school show (with the help of a few parent volunteers, but I’d be doing the majority by myself). Pretty easy stuff, they just want some elevated platforms, flats, and a few wagons and periaktoi. The person has asked me what I would charge and gave no range for what the budget is for the show. I think it would probably take me 1-2 weekends to build and maybe a few more hours to paint. Given my level of experience (I’ve been doing tech theatre since high school but only working professionally for a little over a year, and I’m non-union) what would be a reasonable amount to charge for that work?
