Student fees to support productions

[Rachael Greenberg]

In reading this thread, several things come to mind.
1st:  Many student unions have very specific requirements
for student clubs.  Do you really want your **productions**
to be decided/influenced/changed because of these rules?
2nd:   Is it going to be enough money to support what you do?
Usually the amount per student group is **small** and it also
changes from year to year....
3rd:  Most universities give some sort of student discounts on
tickets.  This is a way to acknowledge the fact that students already
pay fees, and should not have to pay heavily to enjoy related
activities.

If you have a drama club, it should be an **extracurricular** group.
When in college, we used the money from the drama club to help
bring a lecture by an acting coach and an agent to the campus.
We opened it to the campus community and it was a great success.
But the department could not afford to do that, so it was good to have
the club's money available.
