Default Lobby Entertainment

I'm negotiating with the Theatre chain I performed at previously. They've underwent some management changes so I'm back to step one; but some progress is being made.

Below is a list of cities that also have theaters, and I'm wondering if anyone here that lives in, or close to them would be interested in clowning/ballooning/strolling/etc as lobby entertainment?

Most likely it will initially be for tips and perks that could lead to a wage. The tips aren't that bad really - my theater is in a small community ( < 12k population ) and I still made between $25-50/hr.

The perks can lead to income as well. I request (x) amount of movie passes. (In addition to free drinks and food). I then use the passes in party packages: I offer an hour of balloon twisting, plus a movie ticket for (x) amount of children which is a pretty popular party.

During times when the party doesn't sell, I either stock up on the tickets for a huge party, watch the movies myself, give them as gifts, or use them as marketing devices to get people to come to the movies and give me tips. I'm sure you can think of other ways to use them...

So... If anyone is interested - please let me know a.s.a.p.

Feel free to ask questions if you have them.

Westbrook, CT
Cape Coral, FL
Glasgow, KY
Morganton, NC
Statesville, NC
Raleigh, NC
Toms River, NJ
New Hartford, NY
Scranton, PA
Kingsport, TN
Fredericksburg, VA
Beckley, WV
Charleston, WV
Huntington, WV
Lewisburg, WV
Summersville, WV
Welch, WV
Wheeling, WV


Please note that these positions are not guaranteed. I can probably get you in the lobby, but some theaters may prefer not to have it, or already have an entertainer. It will be case by case, but I'd say the odds are fairly good for getting you in the door.
