Performer Payment Model
HUGE strives to pay artists on our stage as much as possible for their time and talent
HUGE Theater Show Payment Model
Ticket prices are set by the theater – Friday and Saturday shows are paid a flat fee based on attendance and HUGE Theater will perform all normal marketing and promotions to help shows succeed, with the expectation that casts and performers are doing so as well.
Weekend Shows
Friday/Saturday 8pm/9:30pm shows: $150 for every performance over 70 in attendance Friday/Saturday 10:30pm shows: $75 for every performance over 60 in attendance Late show pay is split $15 opener/$60 headliner for each instance.
Minimum Payments
There is a minimum payout equal to one paying performance per month so no show ever makes $0 for their run – so 8pm and 9:30pm shows have a minimum payout of $300 and 10:30 shows have a minimum payout of $150
Non-standard shows/rental event shows (ie Saturday 6pm):
First $50 per show to cover staffing Everything beyond is split 60/40 in favor of the artists
