Everyone knows that a good event is hard work.
You have the event space to book, vendors to coordinate, invitations and a guest list to manage, licenses and insurance to acquire, and a million other little things that are so easy to let fall by the wayside.
Whether your organization is preparing for a gala to celebrate your accomplishments (and schmooze donors), or your theatre is just getting up and running, you need someone on your side who will do the legwork.
Do you want to hire performers? You’ll need contracts and insurance.
Do you want to host a raffle? You’ll need donors and a license from the city, county, and/or state.
Do you want to livestream your event or capture special moments? You’ll need a photography/videography team and a web hosting service.
Are you selling tickets to your event? You’ll need to make sure you’re in compliance with the TICKET act and your local laws before advertising. You’ll also need to ensure your space is ADA accessible.
Are you putting on a published play that is not in the public domain? You’ll need to acquire performance rights from (publishers/agents like Concord Theatricals, or MTI.
Long story short, there’s a lot of work to be done!
If you want your event to go off without a hitch (and who are we kidding, who doesn’t?), reach out to a Production Manager to make sure your t’s are crossed and your i’s are dotted.
