Question: I want to holds a children talent show on Halloween?

Planning to book a venue on Halloween to host a American Idol show for children. However, should i do this at night or in the day? Want to do in the restaurant that holds 600 people with foods or should i rent a theatre? With restaurant they can eat and enjoy the music and dance and pay for $25 or in theatre just sit and enjoy and pay for $15? I’m fundraising to help children and don’t know exactly what is best for the public to enjoy. Any idea out there would help, thanks

Answer: I think this will be a challenge to produce well.

You’ve got a month and a half to plan, organize and most importantly advertise for participants and audience. What are your costs for the restaurant vs the theater? Can you make that back if only half of your anticipated attendees show up? Will you have to rent sound and lighting equipment? Advertising needs to get out to magazines and newspapers NOW, can you afford the cost?

If I was a kid I’d rather be trick-or-treating. And as an adult, I’d rather be doing adult things, like drinking. Do the entrants pay a fee? Does this fee cover one parent attending and the other parent (if there is one) pays full ticket price? What’s the prize?

I just don’t think you’ve given yourself enough time and, for a fundraiser, haven’t thought out the various costs and potential revenues.
