Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From? #3925
Posted: 2/18/15 at 6:06pmHow do you politely ask for a signed Playbill? I live in the West coast, so I don't have the opportunity to see shows, unfortunately. I was going to write to Judy Kuhn once FUN HOME opens, and write to a few others in various productions. Would it be better to just address the envelope to a stage manager in this case (to request a signed Playbill)?

Posted: 2/18/15 at 6:35pmIf you would like a cast signed playbill you write to the stage manager. If there's a particular performer that you want to reach you write directly to them using the theater's address. In your letter, you could mention that you live on the west coast and don't have the opportunity to see the show. In my letters, I write how much I enjoyed the show and politely request a signed playbill, making sure that the stage manager understands that they are in no way obligated to fulfill my request. I don't want to come off as pushy, especially when the request isn't accompanied by a donation to BC/EFA.

Was happy to come home to mail from Beautiful today! I don't do this often, but when I really like a show/cast and haven't been able to stage door it's a nice keepsake.
I sent a letter, my Playbill and a $30 donation to BC/EFA on Saturday morning and got a Playbill signed by the entire cast (in a plastic sleeve too) and my original Playbill back today. And a little thank you note for the donation. Less than a week - I'm impressed how quickly they go back to me.
After reading that they had been asking for donations (someone said they asked for $40 in late December) I just picked a number and it worked.
I also wrote to If/Then the same day so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon.

Posted: 2/20/15 at 7:43pmI can't imagine shows rejecting a playbill request because the donation you sent 'wasn't enough'. I figure that ultimately any dollar amount would be accepted. At least, that's what I hope. I sent a $20 donation to If/Then only to find out that ideally they want a minimum of $25.

Posted: 2/20/15 at 7:48pm^ I sent a $10 donation to Les Mis pretty early in the run, before I was even aware they were requesting donations, and they sent it back with a letter explaining they set the donation amount at $30.

Posted: 2/20/15 at 8:05pmFirebolts, I'm sure that if you wrote Judy Kuhn care of the theater (Circle in the Square), she'd send something back.

Posted: 2/20/15 at 9:03pmI imagine If/Then would send you a Playbill in exchange for the $20 donation ... I think it would be a lot of effort on their part for $5 and also they will appreciate that you sent a donation. That's kind of what I figured with Beautiful and it worked. I also said in the note that I hoped it was adequate.

Posted: 2/21/15 at 7:01pmDid you get a signed playbill from them? How much did they ask for since it's the end of the run?
Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From? #3934
Posted: 2/21/15 at 7:30pmYes, I received a cast-signed playbill. I sent in a $40 donation.

Posted: 2/23/15 at 1:33pmHas anyone sent in more than one request to a show because there was a cast change and you wanted a signed playbill from the new cast? Are you just making the same request or do you reword your letter differently?

Posted: 2/28/15 at 11:20pmHas anyone sent to Chicago recently? For some reason I remember someone saying that they don't respond. Is that still the case?

Posted: 2/28/15 at 11:30pm@gleek. Re Chicago. Sending to the show or a specific person?

@gleek Jennifer Nettles signed my photos for me. I saw someone sent to the stage manager and got a playbill but Jennifer did not sign it. Carly did tho.
I also got my playbill from the stage manager signed by Anna Chlumsky and the cast of You Can't Take... :)cant

Posted: 3/3/15 at 11:26pmHeard back from Hedwig and the Angry Inch and A Gentleman's Guide To Love and Murder. Unfortunately, Hedwig is no longer fulfilling autograph requests, even if you send a donation. All I received was a letter stating that, along with an unsigned playbill from the show and my returned money donation to BC/EFA. Really disappointed with that one, was really looking forward to getting an autographed playbill from that show. And Gentleman's Guide sent me a cast-signed playbill featuring their new lead, Jeff Kready (replacement for Bryce Pinkham).

Posted: 3/4/15 at 12:23amI've heard from others who've sent to Kristin Chenoweth that she has her assistant fulfill autograph requests with a pre-signed headshot and disregards whatever items she's asked to sign.

Has anyone written to/heard back from If/Then? It's about to be three weeks since I sent my playbill request and $25 check for BCEFA and I'm wondering what their time frame normally is, especially with the closing looming.
I sent a check and request to Beautiful on the same day and heard back quickly. Neither of my checks have been cashed yet though.

Posted: 3/5/15 at 4:38pmI wrote to If/Then a couple weeks ago. Haven't heard back yet, either.
