A: Full-time employed clients, including those in receipt of Federal or State grants as well as main-stage theatre companies on triennial funding, or state instrumentalities.

A day is eight hours; no more than four hours without a reasonable break. If the day tops 10 hours, a fee double the hourly rate will be charged.
A week is five working days in a row.
If six days are worked, there needs to be a gap between day 4 and 5, and a corresponding increase in fee.
It is assumed that the cost will be determined by the time spent on the task. The base rate is the general hourly rate.
