PAPA Performing Arts Parent Association

Dear Performing Art Student:

As we all know, times are hard and budgets are tight. In order to continue to have beautiful costumes, gorgeous sets, necessary props, audio, lighting, etc., we need money! But what about the money from the Board Office you ask? That money covers licensing rights, music and lyric book rentals, lighting rentals, printing costs, lumber, tools, musicians, and a number of other specifics required for the show. We do try to find the most affordable items/businesses available, but in the end, everything costs money. Therefore, in conjunction with PAPA, we will again be selling advertising space in our playbill. The proceeds from the Ad Book will aid the current and future productions of the Spring Musical.

As a participating member of this year’s production, your assistance is required in obtaining the necessary funds to put on a successful show. ALL MEMBERS OF THE SPRING MUSICAL – CAST, PIT, and CREW – ARE BEING ASKED TO SELL AT LEAST $200 WORTH OF ADVERTISEMENT SPACE/Boosters in the 2011-2012 Bye Bye Birdie Playbill. Attached you will find all the paperwork and guidelines you need to get started. If there any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Poton.

Don’t forget, an ad can be from a family member to a performer in the play, on crew, or in the pit. Also, don’t limit yourself to only Ewing Township.

TOTALS WILL BE KEPT BY Mr. Ponton AND PAPA.

Good Luck,

Mrs. Danielle Miller – director – [email protected] Mrs. Jennifer Forness – music director – [email protected] Mr. David Ponton – assistant to the directors – [email protected] Ms. Lisa Daidone – Choreographer – [email protected] Instructions for selling ads for the Spring Musical Playbill:

1. Please make sure all checks are made out to Musical Production – NO CASH. 2. Attach the ad to the application with a paper clip – NO STAPLES! Make sure your name is on the application so you can receive proper credit. Your name should also appear in the memo section of the check. 3. Most businesses use business cards. If printed ad copy is not being used, clearly write or type what is to appear in the ad on a separate sheet of paper and attach to the application. 4. ADS, APPLICATIONS, AND CHECKS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO MR. POTON AS SOON AS THEY ARE SOLD. Please do not hold onto your ads and turn them in all at once. 5. ABSOLUTE DEADLINE FOR ALL ADS TO BE SOLD AND HANDED IN IS, February 15th, 2012. A lot of work needs to be done before the program is printed and we have to work under the printer’s deadline. 6. Ads received after February 15th will not be honored and will be returned to the business by the seller. 7. Attached is a list of past ad purchasers/sellers. If applicable, any ad sold by a graduated student can first be picked up by a participating sibling. If you know that you are going to pick up the company, please notify Mr. Ponton immediately.

NOTE: We have found that businesses are more than likely to purchase ads from an ADULT. If it is possible, we suggest that an adult either sell the ads or accompany the student when he/she is selling the ad.
