It seems to me there could be many benefits of that happening. You wouldn't have to pay rent, you would have a permanent place for all of your props, flats, etc. Do they have room to accomodate your set construction? Is the facility large enough for what your CT offers in shows, ie: seating, pricing, etc. Would you remain a seperate entty financially? or would you combine your assets to be a single non profit? I guess these are all questions that I'd want answered before making a decision. However, if you feel it would behoove your group to merge with them, what have you got to lose? Is your group profitable and have you many assets? Do you remain within budget restraints for shows? I guess the toughest thing is merging the money. What do they have? are they profitable? WOuld it benefit both of you to merge? I probably threw more questions at you then I answered them, but dialogue always wins. Good Luck.
