  27. We don’t get any money to do all of this cool stuff! Biggest way to raise money is our parent support. Caddo Magnet Players Support Plan Producer - $500 or more Director - $250 - $499 Stage Manager - $150 - $249 Crew Head - $100 - $149 House Manager - $50 - $99 Usher - $25 - $49 .

  28. Fees are confusing • Class Fees – taken up in classes to cover cost of class stuff such as copies, extra books and to help defer the cost of productions. • Drama Club Fees – to be a member of Drama Club – covers yearbook picture page and PTSA calendar pictures • Parent Guild Fees – To help the Guild help the department • ITS Induction Fee – Once in a LIFETIME - $22
