One restaurant created a Mediterranean pre-fixe <br />menu, one gave discounts on desserts, and one created a special cocktail. They <br />advertised our show via flyers on the table, and we advertised the specials on our <br />website and ticketing platform. Restaurants had the freedom to structure the <br />special as worked best for them. We had limited success in connecting with hotel <br />managers for stay and see a play packages, but we did arrange a special with one <br />hotelfor a stay and see a play package. As this was the first time a local theatre <br />has approached the hotels with this type of opportunity, it was a bit of an unknown. <br />We look forward to applying some tweaks and re-approaching this with the local <br />hotels for next summer, as we expect particlpation to only improve. <br />We also rely on local business support to put on the shows itself, with many <br />businesses providing in-kind donation sponsorship and support. For instance, at <br />the recent production we received in kind business donations of costume cleaning, <br />tuxedo rentals, photography services, haircuts, specialty woodwork for our set, <br />rehearsal space for dancers, water and concession donations, and even the <br />loaning of pool lounge chairs from one of the local hotels. All told we received <br />approximately $a,500 in in-kind donations from businesses for Mamma Mia, and <br />each of these supporters are recognized in our program and on our sponsorship <br />signage at the show. <br />2500 character limit <br />4.3 Host Hotel*ls there a host hotel for your event or grant project? lf yes, list the hotel. <br />No <br />Yes. <br />5l Future Plans <br />Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. lnclude any plans for ticket <br />sales, event sponsors, and other cost-recovery models. <br />lf-app-16-03.co.kittitas.wa.us/Forms/form/submission/history/77087185583?hideHeader=true 10t19
