We have a very small theatre (80 people) so the minimum royalty advance per performance can make it very prohibitive to put on a show and sell tickets for a good price as well as pay our tech costs. I notice that the royalty price on quite a few of the junior shows are 16% with a minimum royalty advance per performance of $187 (NZD approx). That is nearly the price of 10 tickets and is fine if tickets sell well, but if they don't we make a loss. Is the royalty payment the lesser of those figures?
Am I able to have a male actor playing a female character or vice versa?
E.g. Could I have a female playing the role of SCAR?

We're very keen to 'Hate Shakespeare'!
