A live look at my booking calendar. Check your dates here before building a schedule — and always confirm final dates with me directly.
Build out your show days below for an instant labor estimate. Quick-turnaround and midnight-oil pricing are detected automatically from your call times. Print the finished schedule and send it with your booking request.
Billed hourly at the $70 base rate. Not sure how many hours to plan for? Open the pre-production worksheet — it totals the work and sends the numbers back here, with this estimate intact.
In-person prep was requested on the worksheet — add a prep day to the schedule above; it bills at the standard rates.
Look up the destination on the GSA per diem table and enter both M&IE figures. The first and last travel days bill at the reduced rate; every day between bills at the full rate.
Estimate is not a quote; final invoice reflects actual hours and expenses.
