This estimate does not cover travel costs — price travel separately for out-of-town shows.
You and GBE own this risk together — creative side and management side.
Estimates only — a projection before a show, never a promise or an amount owed. Travel costs are not covered here. Starting numbers are examples, not real rates. Adjust everything.
