About this product
The Show Budget Blueprint is the daily hub for running a production's money — setting goals, tracking results, planning revenue generators, and centralizing the accounting so you spend less time on math.
You get ten linked budget tabs in Google Sheets with auto-generated expense and revenue categories, a dashboard that charts estimated against actual revenue, and forecasting for sponsorship, ad sales, and ticket income. Pre-production planning exercises help you set the budget before the first dollar moves.
It ships as a trio — blank template, filled-in example, and a step-by-step video walkthrough — for anyone who has to see the whole budget from ten thousand feet and every line item at once.

Common questions
Questions, answered.
Do I need Microsoft Office or Adobe to use these templates?
No. Theaterish templates are built in free tools — Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Canva. You don't need a paid Microsoft Office or Adobe subscription. You'll need a free Google account, and a free Canva account for Canva templates.
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
It's a one-time purchase. You pay once and the templates are yours to keep and reuse for every show, season after season.
Can I reuse the templates for more than one production?
Yes. Every template is built to be reused — duplicate your copy for each new show and start fresh, as many times as you like.
How are the templates delivered?
Everything is digital. After checkout you'll receive access instantly — you copy each template into your own Google Drive or Canva account and make it your own. Nothing ships physically.
Can I customize the templates?
Yes. Every template is fully editable. Change colors, fonts, and content to match your production or program.
What comes with each template?
Most Theaterish templates ship as a trio: a blank template, a filled-in real-world example, and a short walkthrough so you always know how it's meant to be used.

Reviewed by people who've run the show.
