Spring PleaS for BCEFA and Actors Fund???

Its about the second almost third week of March... Right about the time that the Spring PleaS start happening at the theatres.
Anyone see any yet... Lets discuss what they are offering... Signed Posters, Signed Playbills and the amount they are requesting for them. I love this time... its so exciting to see whos offering what and everyone gets into the competition of the easter Bonnett. Nothing wrong with a little good old fashion competition. Plus its for a good cause.

Discuss!!!

shesamarshmallow,
How much is the the cast requesting for signed playbills and posters?

We will be visiting April 6-15th and attending 13 shows so I want to be prepared for all the wonderful offerings.
Any input on the offerings of these shows would be greatly appreciated:
Drowsy Chaperone
Hairspray
Mama Mia
Jersey Boys
Chorus Line
Wicked
Tarzan
Mary Poppins

Also, do shows that start out in previews but open during collection time participate.... Pirate Queen, Curtains and Legally Blonde?

Thanks so much for any help.... also, if anyone knows a great place for Easter Brunch (something special as I have an 11 yr old daughter)please pass that info along as well.

Also, do shows that start out in previews but open during collection time participate.... Pirate Queen, Curtains and Legally Blonde?
No, shows that are still in previews don't do collections.

Posters were $50 and Playbills were $20. Yesterday Taylor Sternberg (swing & 2nd u/s for Frankie) was selling them. It was way cute.

Any reports on items from tonights shows?

Lion King has signed posters...i think they were $40, though i could be wrong. Anyone know anything about Les Mes, Spring Awakening or Gray Gardens??

Spring Awakening didn't offer anything.... just pleas for money... which broke my heart.

The producers had a poster for $60 and a playbill for $40

Spring Awakening did not mention on Mon March 12

at les miz today they were offering an entire cast signed poster for $50. not bad at all.

i love bc/efa. my school does a lot of work with it, we just raised.. $7,067.35 (i believe) at our gala at variety show and silent auction for from ribbon donations this year. =)
we were the first HS to start doing this and began the high school chapter of bc/efa! we have a contact with joe norton up at broadway cares and our thespian officers&cabinet come to the flea market in september every year.

it's such a great cause, i'm a huge supporter, personally.
hopefully, if i go to school in the city like i want to *knocks on wood and crosses fingers* i will be able to volunteer on a more regular basis!

"actual reality, act up, fight AIDS!"
amen!

RENT also has knit and croched hats, scarves, and mittens made by cast and crew.

Shows in previews don't do the Equity pleas.

Hence, Curtains, Pirate Queen, Inherit the Wind, and whatever else starts or is in previews at this time will not be participating.

Les Miz has signed posters for $50.

Last night, March 17, nothing from Talk Radio.
