BROADWAY IN CONCERT

Fund-raising events are a vital part of any professional, civic or school theatre organization, serving to finance upcoming productions, purchase new equipment or pay for theatre renovations. The problem with fund-raisers is they can be so difficult to produce. Splashy gala events often cost more than they raise, and more modest affairs may be too lackluster to attract an audience.

That's where Broadway in Concert comes in. A concert staging of a classic musical gives you the irresistible draw of Broadway for a fraction of the time, money and resources needed for a full production.

Modest production values not only allow a wide range of performance venues (theatres, auditoriums, concert halls, amphitheatres...), but also make the most of limited time and budgets. Sets? Simple: your orchestra, cast and a few microphones. Costumes? Simple: concert attire. Staging? As much or as little as you like. Rehearsals? Weeks instead of months. Depending on the extent of your staging, your cast can even go onstage with books in hand.

And when it comes to drawing an audience, Broadway in Concert offers countless possibilities. Partner with your local symphony orchestra and increase your audience base. Tackle that favorite musical you've never had the resources to present in a full production. Use the minimal rehearsal and performance demands to entice a local star, politician or celebrity into appearing in your production. With a little creativity, you can make your concert production not only a successful fundraiser, but an evening your audience will remember for a long time to come.

Broadway in Concert: simple, elegant, exciting, economical, unforgettable... the perfect fund-raiser! Just some of the great shows you can do in concert:
