This paper serves to examine the running of a small theater company, and the issues that can arise. These issues can bring work to a halt if not approached with a calm, clearheaded mind. Though the theater in which I worked was shut down due to multiple issues at the most inconvenient time, my production team and I were able to produce a successful season. In order to accomplish this, we made many compromises, but still managed to create work of which we will be forever proud.
