Each summer Shepherd University hosts the Contemporary American Theater Festival on our campus. We house actors, directors, production, and support staff in our apartments and residence halls. Festival performances, which include six plays, are performed in our theaters across campus throughout the month of July with total attendance of around 20,000. This has been an ongoing relationship for the past 25 years at Shepherd.
I am interested in hearing from any campuses that have ongoing sports or theatrical festivals over your summer schedule and if you have any revenue sharing agreements with those organizations. For example, does your university collect x% of festival net or gross revenues?
Thanks for any information you can provide!
