Haunted By God

• Cost: There is a sliding scale of $600 - $1,000 per performance, plus travel, room and board. Some places charge a ticket fee, and others pass the hat. Some churches absorb the cost entirely. If a second show is booked nearby, the two groups can split the travel costs.
• Travel: Lisa Wagner, the actress, needs roundtrip fare on bus, train or plane from Chicago, and will need to be transported to and from the airport, hotel or home, performance place, etc.
• Food and Lodging: She gladly will stay in a home, convent, rectory, or hotel.
• Performance space - The show requires a 20' by 20' playing area and a 10' ceiling, also a 2' minimum elevation above the audience seating area. Good lighting is helpful and good acoustics are essential. The play cannot be performed in an echoing hall or gym. Poor acoustics can be overcome by a wireless microphone provided by our hosts.

Strong Women

Strong Women is toured to raise funds for our outreach program, The Persephone Project, for women in prison. Therefore, a performance can be scheduled with the following financial arrangement:

• A base fee of $100-$150 (A small $25 deposit is required to hold the date.) This base fee assures that we will be able to pay our actors.
• At the end of the presentation, we will request donations for our prison outreach.
• We will "pass the hat" and invite people to become monthly donors.
• To book a performance, please contact Lisa Wagner at the Still Point office, 773-868-1700 or lisa@stillpointtheatrecollective.org

Suggestions For Funding

• Some organizations have recruited other parishes, local universities, or peace and justice groups to co-sponsor a performance. Other performances in your area will also reduce your cost as travel and lodging expenses can be shared. Contact Still Point about arranging a tour.
• Tickets sold through your organization can partially or totally cover costs.
