BEYOND THE STAGE
Give the show
a strong start.
A strong production needs a clear campaign. We work with your team on the materials and activity that help audiences discover the show and find their way to the box office.
A joined-up campaign
Coordinate on-sale timing, key messages and agreed promotional activity, with clear responsibilities between Start Events and your venue.
Support for ticket sales
Connect show promotion with the agreed booking route and work together on opportunities to keep the date visible as the performance approaches.
PLAN THE DATE WITH CONFIDENCE
From programming
to curtain up.
Every show has its own format. We discuss the production details early so your programming, technical and front-of-house teams can plan together.
The information your team needs
Ask about show format, running time, interval arrangements and the production’s suitability for your stage and audience.
Technical requirements, agreed in advance
We coordinate production information and technical riders where applicable. Stage space, sound, lighting, crew, load-in and access requirements should be reviewed with your team before the booking is confirmed.
Clear responsibilities
Agree who is providing equipment and staffing, how the show will be marketed and where tickets will be sold. A clear advance makes for a smoother show day.
