Unlike some of
Philadelphia’s older, more established theaters, The Mauckingbird Theater
Company bases their decision to continue producing on a show-by-show basis.
“We operate on
such a tight budget margin that one flop would seriously impact our decision to
do another show,” said Lindsay Mauck, Managing Director and co-founder of
Mauckingbird, which was named Philadelphia’s Best Gay Theater Company by
Philadelphia Weekly in 2011.
Perhaps to
demonstrate just how tight the budget is, Mauck does everything from running
the company’s website to contracting actors to managing the payroll all on her
own time. She does not make any money from the company and works as the
managing director in between her other paying jobs.
