Shrek Update - 2/28/21

Good Evening!

I hope everyone continues to be well as we move into the final stretch of this production!  I only have a few things to share this evening.

1. Tickets for all in-person shows go on sale tomorrow morning at 8 AM.  Visit eastlincolnonstage.org and select TICKETS to purchase.
2. We will not be opening streaming sales until later in the month.  We want to encourage as many people as possible to join us for an in person show.
3. Parent Ads - If you are interested in placing an ad in the program for your actor, please contact me this week to make sure we reserve your space and get your information.  Full page parent ads are $75, half page are $50, and business card are $25.  Checks should be made out to East Lincoln StageHands.
4. You may have noticed the name "East Lincoln StageHANDS" appearing a little more frequently.  This is the name of our new booster organization.  This group is all about supporting the chorus and theatre programs financially and with manpower.  In the coming days, you will receive communication from one of our officers about helping out with meals for our upcoming long rehearsals, as well as some other ways you can help make this production a success.  
5. Finally, I am going to make one last plea for help contacting potential advertisers and/or sponsors.  We must pay royalties every time we perform the show.  We have increased the number of performances to try and get as many people in as possible, while still making ends meet.  While the major donation we received from Hickory has helped us tremendously with this show, there have still been many costs associated with getting the costumes and props needed.  If you received this message in an email, there is a link at the bottom to our potential advertiser/sponsor list.  If you received this message as a text, there was a second link to take you to that list.  Please consider contacting one or more of these (or other) businesses to help make sure we can continue producing MainStage shows throughout 2021.  If you make a contact, please let us know on the spreadsheet so that we don't duplicate.  I will be happy to answer any questions you might have about this process, but please know that this is the biggest way you can help our program right now.

I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Mr. F
