Working in New Spaces How does my village host a touring performance? Contact Chalkfoot to join our Promoters' Mailing List or Email: info@chalkfoot.org.uk and ask to receive booking details when they are available. You will receive at least five months advance warning of forthcoming productions by post: fill out the booking form and return it to us as soon as possible with three alternative dates (as our dates are taken up very quickly it's best not to wait to discuss them at a committee meeting) If we can offer you a date we will normally visit the hall to check out the facilities. There's no need to worry at this stage as we play many different kinds of halls: some with stages, some without. We also bring all our own lighting and sound equipment, stage set and costumes. Once a performance date has been agreed, we will offer you a contract. We undertake to provide the full stage production, publicity materials and programmes while the village hall committee agrees to provide the venue, distribute publicity locally, make and sell tickets and provide volunteers to seat the audience and sell refreshments on the night. The company normally arrives at the hall around the middle of the afternoon and we ask that the hall is kept free at that time. Performances last approximately two hours including an interval. Raffles can be organised and bars can be run by volunteers during the interval to provide additional revenue towards the parish hall fund. At the end of the night, after everyone has enjoyed the performance, the company will take approximately one hour to pack away. << back
