Quadruple the pay and it might be worth it. What are the ticket prices?

There was just an expose' on the Korean news about the outlandish prices charged for kiddy shows in Korea.

The Pusan 7 (or was it 9?) head to Seoul. Nice!

[Mr. Pink]

I went to see one of those plays the kids go to...I would be embarrassed to death to have been the foreigner they had working that play. I don't have a problem with foreigners doing English plays...just this one was so low budget it was embarrassing. The Koreans who were speaking English weren't fluent enough and the acting was...well...horrible.

I agree, up the pay and you might get some quality people going for that type of job.

I'll do it so long as I can perform in the nude and receive 2% of on-line revenue. Talk to my agent Mr.Kim at St.Andrews Hagwon in Ilsan.

Is this gonna be like Blues Clues or like Muppets on Ice?

[just because]

I am sure you will find people but that is a very low amount for the hours involved...

*training time(assuming the lowest which it won't be) is 18 hours(potentially up to 48 hours). So lets say it is 25 hours but will probably be higher.

*rehearsal is 7 hours.

*performance time is 36 hours- 42 hours.
So lets say 40 hours.

So in total there is 65 hours involved. That doesn't include the 3 hours(and some days 5 hours) you have to wait about in between shows.

So 2 million/ 65 hours = 30 700won an hour which is a very good scenario. It could be almost only 22 000 an hour if it is the maximum time involved
Basically you are looking for people with F2 visas to do this....waaaaaay too low.

I understand that some people love performance and will do it along with a day job but for the amount of crap and time involved it isn't incentive enough.
