Founding partners

We want your next show.

Apply with the production you have coming. We are handpicking a small set of houses we can support for real as founding partners. The ones we can get on their feet the easiest. We read every application.

Three tips for pricing the show.

  1. Start at $25. That is about what a community theatre seat goes for nationwide. Under that, you may be leaving the lighting bill on the table. Over $40, you are above most houses.
  2. Price GA and reserved as two houses. Open seating is one price. Assigned seats can carry more because the ticket names a chair. Do not charge reserved money for a room nobody has measured.
  3. Premium is a bump, not a new show. Front rows, opening night, or a table. About $5 over adult reserved is enough. Double is a different night.

Tools stay free. Reserved seats are $1. What a ticket costs to sell.
