it's not about the money…
[ NOTE: I have a kind of tradition of picking up all lose change I find while working in a space on a show/job. Kind of a little 'game' of lets see how much money I make on this show, I keep it all in a little jar...Im a nerd]
An unnamed Off-Broadway THEATER
TOTAL FOUND =$ 13.74
(that dollar coin really was exciting to find, to bad I can’t spend it anywhere)
HOURS WORKED =
Now this is harder to figure out. I know of 32 days total I was not at the theater, but let’s round up and say 50 days I didn’t go in. I would say I work an average of 10 hours a day, but lets round that down to 8 (evens out those days I didn’t come in, and those days I didn’t sleep and spent the night, or two) Let’s say 360 days in the year minus the 50 days = 310 days/8hours each 2480 hours (and thats not including the fact I’m attached to my phone/email)
= 2480 hours
SO
$13.74 over 2480 hours
= $.0055 cents an hour!
Conclusion: I love theater! where else can you make that much money from just bending down to pick it up, and get fired on a sunday.











This is why my parents wouldn’t pay for me to go to theater school. HA!
