Prices for Denny Olson's performances, workshops, school residencies, and motivational talks are arranged by phone or e-mail, tailored to your location and event.
Honorarium for Denny's services range from $250-$600 per day, plus travel, depending on the organizion and specific needs. Substantial discounts are given for multiple-day programming.
Many organizations wishing to see an Earthlore performance are long on worthiness and short on funds. This is not an unusual situation. Education and environmental groups have traditionally been under funded.
Here are some ideas on how to save money and still enjoy a performance by one of Denny Olson's humorous alter-egos:
- Arrange
other shows in your area. Often a phone call or two will save
money on the honorarium (price breaks for multiple shows) and
on the travel costs. Sharing expenses between two parties cuts
those expenses in half for each group-- a considerable savings
since travel costs sometimes exceed the cost of the program.
Likewise, three performances split costs three ways, etc.
- Secure
outside help. Fundraising for unusual education programs such
as these is often as simple as asking. Some people to ask...
- Local businesses or Chamber of commerce
- Jaycees / Rotary
- Kiwanis / Arts organizations
- "Title" funding / Sympathetic individuals
- Be sure to repay their generosity with the best visibility and PR you can provide.
- Charge
admission. General public programs often ask for a "donation"
to help cover costs. In fact, Earthlore performances are often
used to raise money as benefit programs. Keep in mind that the
success of a fundraiser depends entirely on the quality and
quantity of advertising. If people hear about the performance
three different ways, they will not want to miss the show that
everyone is going to see...
