The 2018 LHAT Historic Theatre Salary Survey includes salary information as reported by member
theatres. These numbers have not been adjusted for geographic location and, therefore, should be used
only as a guide when budgeting and/or negotiating salaries. Value from bonuses and/or other benefits is
not included.

Every theatre is different and staffing differs greatly from theatre to theatre. We have provided salary
numbers for those staff positions which were common to most theatres. If you are interested in a
report more specific to your theatre, email kstein@lhat.org to see if we can refine the parameters for
your specific position/theatre/location.

DEFINITIONS:

HIGH – this number represents the highest salary provided from participating theatres. Often this
number was reported by a theatre in a large community.

LOW – this number reflects the lowest salary provided from participating theatres. Often this
number was reported by a theatre in a small community. Note: Outliers were removed from the
report.

AVERAGE – this number represents the average salary of all salaries collected from similar
size theatres. This number is not adjusted for geographic location and therefore represents a
national average that might need to be adjusted for metropolitan areas with higher cost of living
requirements.
