It depends on the size of the company, on whether it is amateur or professional, on whether it is a reperatory company or a company assembled for a particular production, whether the company has a home base or whether it travels and so on.

Basically, the economics of theatre are straightforward enough. The expenses are the cost of the script, the cost of the venue, the cost of costumes, props, sets, and tech, advertising, box office, front of house (including ushers, concessions, etc.), and the cost of any actors who are to be paid a wage, as opposed to a profit share. The revenue is the amount collected from the sale of tickets, plus donations, sponsorships, profits from concessions and so on. Revenue less expenses is profit. Those who have a share in the profit get a share.
