Hello All,

I run a small non-profit, non-professional theatre in Rochester, NY called Bread & Water Theatre. We have been asked by our local government to get an Entertainment Center License in order to continue performing plays for the public. This license costs $425-$475 a year and is supposed to pay for inspection costs on the property.

Oddly enough our venue is already inspected and up to code. We think this is just another way for our city govenment to tax its citizens (as we don't get anything out of the licensing). Has anyone else heard of this sort of thing???
