Theatre / Drama Club

Fund Raisers / Concessions

How would you like an easy to manage fundraiser that takes very little time and effort to run? I'm guessing you would also like it to be hugely profitable and not end up saddling yourself with thousands of unsold (candy bars, Fruit cakes, etc.) to dispose of? Finally,wouldn't it be great fun if the fund raiser actually pulled the audience into your show?

Here's where we come in! - we provide items for you to sell to your patrons during intermission. Mind you, these are more than just souvenirs... by using our sales ideas you can integrate these novelties into your production so the audience becomes part of the show.

This makes for very lucrative sales for you and also enhances the flavor of your production.

Plus: All sales activity happens during your show - you won't have weeks of keeping track of product as students sell them. Aside from having to track everything - inventory tends to get lost the longer you keep the boxes around!

We'll send you the items in time for opening night and you return the unsold (if any) after the close. We then invoice you for the ones you sold (plus shipping).

Putting on a production is usually a major expense - please let us help you recoup some of that cost via our fund raisers.

 

How it Works

  • Order as much product as you think you can sell - sending no money up front.
  • Sell, sell, sell during intermission, pre-sales tickets, drama club sales, etc. (and please read our sales ideas).
  • Send back unsold items.
  • We invoice you for only the items sold plus shipping.
  • This is the perfect fundraiser! NO RISK - NO LEFTOVER INVENTORY.
  • This fundraiser has proven to be quite lucrative for many theatres.

Idea!

Does your school only allow one fund raiser per year? - Our fundraisers technically fall under the umbrella of "Concessions" as all sales are conducted during your production - so if you have already planned a fund raiser for the year - no problem! - you can do both!

Beauty and the Beast

... and Alice in Wonderland

Light-up Red Roses

Highslide JS
Lightup Red Roses

Selling light-up roses to audiences during intermission has proven to be a lucrative fundraiser for many of our clients.

In the final scene of "Beauty and the Beast", Chip presents Belle with a rose - a light-up rose! As Belle holds her lighted rose up, it is a signal to the audience to also raise theirs. Since the house lights are still down, it is breathtaking to see all the lighted roses in the audience.

You could also use the roses during the "transformation" of the Beast back into the Prince.

You make money on every rose and you needn't worry about excess stock-- just return all your unsold roses to us.

We'll send you however many roses you reasonably expect to sell during your run. Return your unsold roses and we'll invoice you for only the roses you actually sell.

This is a completely "Risk-Free" venture for your Drama Club or your theatre, and will elicit lots of "oohs" when the audience turns on their light-up roses.

...And Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Light up (Flickering) candleslight up candle

Seven inch long "Sabbath" candles are pre-loaded with batteries (as are our roses). Push the flame down to start them flickering. Push again to turn off.

 

Sales idea - Come out with a candle for the curtain speech, Dim the stage lights and explain how during the Sabbath Prayer you would like the audience to light up their candles. If there is a cause that is dear to your theatre's heart - explain that the candle lighting will be in solidarity with this. For Joseph, bring them out for "Close Every Door"

High School Musical (I and II)

Pink Sequin Hats

These baseball caps will appeal to patrons of all ages - a great memento to take home from the show.

Sales idea - Have Sharpay wear a hat as a part of one of her costumes. In your curtain speech, let people know that this is one of Sharpay's favorite accessories and that it is perfect for the fashion diva inside of all of us.


Seussical

Candy Cane Stove Pipe Hats

These Stove Pipe hats are similar to the hat worn in the show. At our test site these hats were on sale in the lobby before the performance. Even without any sales effort during the curtain speech these hats sold very briskly. They will appeal equally to boys and girls.

Lined and made of plush velveteen, these hats typically retail for $15.00 and up!

Sales idea - Have audience members keep the hats in their laps until the last number. At which time the chaps can slap on their hats. - Also, great to have all of the ushers wear the hats - makes them easy to find!

 

Annie

6" tall plush Annie dog

These 6” tall plush dogs have been specifically designed to reflect the ANNIE show experience – Sandy’s coloring, an embroidered ‘sun’ on the paw, and a red ribbon around the neck (this is different than the photo.) These have been custom-made custom made for the show.

 

Sales idea - To pique patron's interest before the show, have all of the ushers/ticket takers walk around with this little dog.

 

 

Sales Tips

  • Come out on stage for your curtain speech with the sales item
  • Explain what the proceeds will be used for
  • Explain that the audience will become part of the show
  • Have the ushers walk around with the item
  • If submitting Press Releases, include this item with your PR. Editors love free gifts!
  • Make available for pre-sales - When people buy tickets as a gift it makes a nice touch for them to include a rose, hat, etc. with the gift tickets.
  • When asking for businesses in your community to underwrite the show, include a little gift along with your letter.
