Team Fundraising: Work On A Mystery Dinner Theater

            Working on a team fundraising campaign is not an easy task because this requires a lot of time and effort. A lot of factors also need to be taken into consideration so that every single detail of the fundraising campaign can be designed to run smoothly. In this way, funds can be produced efficiently when the fundraiser program is launched.

            There are lots of team fundraising ideas that you can choose to work on. One of the best ones would be a mystery dinner theater. This fundraiser idea is a really fun way for you to generate funds for your group. This is basically an event. To host this, the first step you need to do is to look for a suitable location. You have to be really careful when you’re looking for a venue for your fundraiser event because this is a vital factor that will have a huge effect on the overall success of what you have planned on. Aside from a good location, you also need to prepare good food for your guests. The food that you’re going to serve to your customers will also be very important because the theater performance that you’re going to prepare will take place in acts that are divided by various dinner courses. You don’t want other restaurant patrons to come and go during the critical scenes of your theatrical performance. With this, it would be best for you to book a reserved dining room at a large restaurant or an inn.

            Another important thing that you should never miss doing would be seeing to it that the room you’re going to use can cater to a large group of people so that you can bring a large number of guests during your fundraiser event. In this way, you will be able to produce a good amount of profit in the end. Negotiate for a flat group rate, which already include dinner and dessert. In addition, check and see if there are good deals that already include wine with dinner. You also need to check if a corkage fee is going to be charged if your guests decide to bring their own bottles.

            Once you finish working on your venue and the food that you’re going to serve, the next thing you have to contemplate on would be ticket pricing. When you’re doing this, you have to remember the rule of thumb, which is to set your ticket prices at double the cost. Next, work on your murder mystery performance. You can either choose to have your own members perform the mystery script or you can coordinate with a local theater group if you want to feature something’s that’s a lot more professional. You can easily look for mystery dinner theater scripts online for a good price. You can also try asking for one from a local theater group who has already performed one.

            Lastly, advertise your fundraiser event and advertise it some more. Good publicity will help you bring in lots of guests, which will be your main source of profit.
