Hi There,

I am writing with regard to an upcoming theatre show at the Princes Theatre,
Clacton on Sea, on Saturday 29th May 2021, and would like to enquire about
hiring Jeff for two performances on the day, in addition to a meet and
greet after each show.

We are a non-profit youth theatre company, so require a celebrity who is
comfortabl working with our talented group of children aged from
10-16.

Any information you could provide in relation to the details below would be
appreciated, in addition to costing and terms if possible.

The exact requirements of our show and other information you may deem
pertinent are as follows:

performing additional background dances.

Cinderella, Rumplestiltskin, The Pied Piper, Rapunzel, The Evil Queen and
others. Clean and fun family entertainment.

Character: King William, Ruler of fairy tale land and the father to Evil princess Prescilla and Cinderella. He will be stepping down as king and is looking for a new rule.
He is a very fun excitable character that is easily fooled by his evil daughter.

Rehearsals: Minimum of two rehearsals, tech and dress rehearsals the
Wednesday and Thursday before the show.*. At the theatre plus an Additional 4
rehearsals at our Frinton on Sea rehearsal venue(desirable but not a necessity)

Script availability: Script to be available 2 months after contract signing as the lines for
this particular character will be written specifically to fit the celebrity
by a professional script writer with TV and theatre credits.

Flexibility: Depending on the celebrity hired, we are happy to work with
them to incorporate their own ideas into the script, maximising the
effectiveness of the talent on offer.

Budget: we have a budget of £3000 including VAT. (Negotiable)

Payment: a deposit of 30% on date of hire, the remaining payment will be
paid after the show and a contract signed confirming this with a payment by
date.

*A month or so prior to the show date, we will also provide a video of the
necessary scenes with a stand in actor, in order for the celebrity to get
up to speed with the performance and gauge timing.

Thank you in anticipation for any information you can provide. We’re
looking to take our shows to that ‘next level’ and sincerely hope that you
can help us take that step. I need to have an answer by 1st Feb if
possible.
