Well, of course, I could. I could say 'this is who I want to book and this is what I want to do and this is how I want to organise it. I'll need x-no of stages all under cover, x-no of crew, technicians, runners etc. Additionally, I need rehearsal space (so often overlooked) and cash on hand for props, costumes, day payments. You have the money upfront (not from box office receipts) to pay for venue hire, fees and expenses and accommodation that my faithful sidekick producer has detailed here, haven't you?'

I don't think they'd regard this as a 'constructive contribution'. Not until they'd sorted the funding hurdle.
