Shows can be performed indoors or outdoors but the show will adhere to the contract details. Shows are rehearsed and props are chosen for what the contract had requested. Due to wind and temperature, some acts are not offered as an outdoor show options.
A reliable and secure power source is needed to provide electricity for our microphones for the audience to hear our voices and music. Noisy generators are not the best solution for power, but can work if they are well protected from coming unplugged and located far from the performance stage.
The stage surface should always be dry and level. If outdoor, the ground should be free from mud, tar, sand, gravel and other debris. Cement is best if outdoors. Grass, paver bricks, and uneven decking material are not the optimal choices for outdoor shows and may limit the acts. Indoor surfaces should be smooth and free of debris.
The space size for the show varies on the performance selected. Please be aware of overhead obstacles, direct sun light, water, patron viewing, patron seating, size of your audience, exiting strategies for the dismantling of the show.
The height of the show varies on the performance selected. Basic shows can be performed under an 8' ceiling. Some of the larger set ups for our shows can require a ceiling height of at least 16'4". Please be aware of your decorations that may affect the staging space or staging height needed for the performance.
Shows can be a one performer or a two performer show depending on your event budget. If the performance is a one performer show, the entertainer will be a male performer.
Our sound system works well with seating of about the size of a high school basketball court and bleachers. Any requests for shows larger than that, the client should supply an ample sound system for the performance.
Lighting should be provided by the client and should never be just a single spotlight.
Set up of a show can take 30-60 minutes.
Breakdown of a show can take 30-60 minutes.
Parking is to always be provided by the client and free to the performers. The parking should be reserved for one vehicle and labeled. The parking should be close proximity to the stage area for the ease of loading and unloading of the show.
Basic Travel Costs (gas, drive time/travel time, lodging, tolls, airfare, parking, car rentals) will be added and factored into the bid:
Please understand that an event in our home city will not be the same price as an event that requires travel time and other expenses such as gas, tolls, parking, lodging, airfare, drive time/travel time, and car rentals.
Pricing can be confusing when you are comparing others to what we do. No two performers are the same when it comes to experience, skill levels, presentation, energy levels, costuming, punctuality, insurance, business etiquette and business policies. If you are seeking quality entertainment we are that. If you want a business that is easy to plan an event with, communicates well, shows up on time, and one that provides quality in the overall experience, we are that partner. We do not entertain out of a small bag, we actually put on a well thought out and rehearsed show. Our entertainment is engaging, interactive and enjoyable.
You can hire us as your entertainment for:
circus, carnivals, corporate functions, private parties,
city festivals, charity benefits, themed events, parades,
grand openings, casinos, concerts, theaters, weddings,
black tie affairs, special events, street fairs, birthdays parties,
company picnics, quinceaneras, bat mitzvahs, bar mitzvahs,
sporting events, holiday parties, music videos,
commercials, family gatherings, social functions, assemblies,
college events, award banquets, retirement parties,
block parties, movie extras, fundraisers, communions,
variety showcases, stage shows, dances, graduations,
school events, religious events, proms, and library shows.
Our willingness to work with clients gives you the confidence you deserve.
The entertainment is completely customizable and suitable for any age or audience to enjoy. Having the ability to entertain for just children or the wow factor to entertain an all adult event is very rare in our industry. With our many years of experience, we have crafted our shows to adapt to family friendly entertainment. We offer a large variety of entertainment. Let us know your theme and the color palette of your event. Is this a classy affair or a casually dressed event? If we know ahead of time, performances and attire can be customized for your celebration.
