Russ, you might go online and look at some of the sites that offer publicity pix in bulk to performers of all kinds. I know there are a few but I haven't kept the info. The Folksinger crowd on one of my lists discusses this once a year or so too.
Usually they get the digital files from the photog and send it to one 
of these places and get their reprints.
And, in fact, that's something you also might offer if there's a Fuji 
or Kodak machine near you.  Sell them a CD with the file for, say, 
$75 with a license for usage up to 150 copies, and let them go off to 
Wally Wal Mart and save yourself the trouble.  You can count on those 
places to query them when they bring in the CD, and to require them 
to sign a form that says they have the rights to the reprinting.  You 
can also go to Wally's and let them know what will be happening to 
keep an eye out for it.
Remember, those deals may look like you're giving away the store but 
think about the time you'll spend running around after their piddling 
reprint orders for 5 here, 10 there.  And also, keep in mind that 
every time you shoot a show they have the chance to order a CD with a 
more current image.
Then concentrate on building relationships with the people who 
produce the plays and need the pix for publicity in the local glossy 
magazines.  Offer your services for a fee plus a CD and as soon as 
the show is over they get to pay another fee and get a new CD for the 
next show.
