Benefits
Host a Benefit Performance
A benefit show is for organizations or charities to raise money by selling tickets to a special showing of one of our productions on a night reserved exclusively for the organization.
We feel we can help you earn money for your organization or charity with a minimum amount of work on your part. We supply the programs and tickets (refreshments are optional - you may bring your own or we can supply refreshments during intermission). All you have to do is sell tickets!
See below for pricing and terms and conditions. For more information or to partner with us, contact our Business Manager at business@thevillageplayers.com.
Pricing Options
Benefit Performance: $600
A non-refundable security deposit of $50 is required to hold a desired performance date and is due at booking. No date will be considered held until the deposit is received.
A refundable cleaning deposit of $100 is due at booking and is returned after two weeks if there is no damage, excessive cleaning or loss to the premises, and if all venue rules have been followed. The benefit holder is financially responsible for damages that exceed the security deposit.
The remaining balance of $550 for the benefit performance is due prior to the start of the scheduled event. A performance will not begin until the remaining balance is received.
