Raising Money to Stage a Musical...

My boyfriend was researching starting a theatre group as well, and he was told that a good first step it to try to establish yourself as a "non-profit" organization. I'm not sure exactly how to do that, but I'll see if he has more information. It's also always a good idea to hold fundraisers if you can. I'm involved with a group that raises money for a local resident with high medical bills, and because all of our proceeds go to a beneficiary, we hold car washes, and ad drives (selling ads for the program) to raise money to put on the show. Where are you trying to start this group?
