Just take the basic essentials for an arangetram

Theater Rental (including insurance) = $1,500
Musicians (Fee, travel, lodging, food)= $ 5,500
Private lessons for arangetram prep
(assume 20 classes at $25) = $500
Guru Dakshina = ???
Costumes, accessories = ???
Basic, simple invitation cards = ???
Misc = ???

I challenge anybody who tells me that they can accomplish this for anything less than $12,000. Really, who thinks that this is peanuts? And as you can see the biggest chunk goes towards paying for the musicians.

No wonder you have talented kids who never manage to have an arangetram. The parents would rather save this to pay for college.
