BECOMING A BENEFACTOR

The Festival Players has been touring theatre to Regional and Rural Britain for 25 years this year. The Festival Players is funded only through ticket sales and private donations. It manages to cover the costs of Actors’ wages, fees, production expenses, transportation, printing, accommodation, and publicity, but there is little left to expand and develop the work of the Company.

We can’t ask you to sponsor a Seat or a Brick, because we don’t have any, but to mark our 25th Anniversary, and to help fund an extension of our touring theatre over the coming years, we are asking for the help of any of our friends and supporters who might be able to offer a little financial sponsorship for the current production:

For a minimum donation of £60 we will list your name on our web page "Benefactors of the Festival Players 2012 Tour". As a mark of appreciation, we are offering Benefactors a commemorative photograph of our 2012 tour of "Richard III". This will be a well presented A5 photograph taken during our final rehearsals, and signed by all the actors. Along with the photograph you will receive a voucher for a free programme, and all Benefactors names will be entered into a prize draw with the chance to win a pair of tickets to a Festival Players performance of your choice.

We appreciate all support we receive from the patrons of our productions each year, and we would be delighted if you would use the free voucher to make yourself known to our Actors and Director, and receive your free program at "The Tempest", venue of your choice. We intend to repeat the "Benefactors of the Festival Players Tour" for theatre tours in each coming year. And remember, actors in our touring productions often go on to greater things. Who knows what your signed photograph might be worth in the future!

If you wish to become a "Benefactor of the Festival Players 2012 Tour", please send a cheque, payable to ‘Festival Players’ to:

Sara Dave, Administrator
The Festival Players Theatre Company
27 Ebley Road
Stonehouse
Gloucestershire
GL10 2LW

E-mail: enquiries@thefestivalplayers.co.uk

Please write on the back of the cheque how you would like your name(s) to appear on the "Benefactors of the Festival Players 2012 Tour" page of our Website. If you include your e-mail address, we will send you an e-mail to acknowledge your donation with a link to the "Benefactors" page of our website.

(If you are currently a ”Friend of Festival Players” and have paid this year’s subscription, you can upgrade to a Benefactor for as little as £25)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
