An audience member pays $12 dollars for a ticket at Arapahoe High School, but the way that money is used might be a mystery to most.

The Arapahoe High School Thespians are putting on their spring production, County Fair: A Country Hits Musical, on March 13, 14 and 15. A musical containing all the country songs that have topped charts and have become classics.

Director of the show and AHS theater teacher, Will Brooks, broke down the costs of running a production further.

The current expected cost of County Fair is $8,000, and with a company that grows exponentially every year, the return from ticket sales is expected to yield at least $14,000.

“When I got here, the story I had heard was that we had no money and no one could buy anything for anything,” he said. 

After a series of extremely successful shows, the theater program has been able to grow and keep improving, as well as being self-sufficient for most of its productions. 

Brooks was open and honest about all of the theater’s earnings and encouraged anyone who is interested to talk to him about the further cost breakdown to come ask questions.

“If someone needed to see the bank account, then I can pull it up for you,” he said. “I want to make sure people feel like when they are supporting a nonprofit group that money is being used in the right way.”

Brooks emphasizes the reason the program is able to put on great shows is because of the audience.

“The school has ways of helping us when we ask for something specific, but mostly everything we are doing is fundraised through tickets and family support,” he said.
