Calling theatres

Here's my self made script when calling theatres to ask questions and quotes;

Hello there my name is Isabel King ,

 I'm a musical theatre student from Worthing college , currently working on a performing arts business course on how to run a small scale theatre company and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering some theoretical research questions?

I would like to know how many seats The Theatre  holds?

Is it possible to use your lighting and sound facilities? 

If that would come with any short of deposit?

Would you take a percentage from our profit? 

And would you be able to give us any dates to run our production? 

Thank you for your time in this matter , your quotes will be use as research. 

Chichester Festival theatre - gave me an email to contact sain.dewied@cst.org.uk

Connaught Worthing theatres - I got through to admin 01903 231 799 who said they where too busy to answer any questions and gave me and email to contact ; theatres@audr/worthing.gov.uk here's the information they sent me ; 

• "The Connaught Theatre holds 520 seats, this includes boxes and Wheelchair and escort spaces. 
• It is possible to use the facilities, we have technical staff to do this or help to do this. If you were putting a show on you may have to hire the technicians at an extra charge, depending on what you require. 
• To hire the venue there is a deposit of £200 to secure the venue on the date you require. 
• There are 2 ways to put on a show at our venues. One is to hire the venue for a set fee and extra costs that may include include staffing and equipment etc. If you sell tickets through us the charges come out of the box office takings after the show through a settlement, or we invoice for the charges if we don't sell your tickets. The other way is called a split where we take a percentage of your box office takings after the show through a different type of settlement. The percentage is discussed at contract stage. 
• We hold a diary in the administration Department and we consult that at the time of enquiry, pencil in dates until all is confirmed, either by deposit or contract signing, then it is confirmed as a booking. If you have any dates in mind we don't mind checking the diary."

I didn't find my phone calls that successful because I only received emails and other numbers to call  to enquire. Therefore I wasn't that impressed with the information I got . 

I learnt from my first call that you don't always get forwarded to the right to person so you must be patient and take down suggestions they make to help you .

My small scale company shall adapt to possibly have an admin manager who will contact all the relevant people to find out the answers to our questions . This will consist of emailing every theatre we want to run or production at , this will then save time.
