FAQ

We specialise in interactive and improvised performances for theatrical and event spaces, including living history, interactive trails and murder mysteries. We are also engaged in more traditional performances for stage and audio production.

I'm interested in booking Avalard Productions for an event - what happens?
Thanks for thinking of us.
In the first instance, drop us an email or text message and we'll get back to you and arrange a meeting via phone / video call or in person as appropriate.
At the meeting we'll talk through your wants and requirements and any ideas you might have. We will then discuss what Avalard can do to help, and any considerations.

Bespoke or Off-the-peg?
Most of our productions are custom developed and scripted for specific events and spaces, but we are also growing a body of material we can adapt for multiple venues. Our bespoke elements are tailored for you, the client. 

What age-group are your performances suitable for?
This very much depends on the client. We run family and adult-appropriate performances, and everything in between. 

What is the development process like? Will I hear from you before the performance day?
We spend time researching and writing the story, and producing a working script. Any bespoke elements, or site specific requirements are incorporated, and timelines are agreed.
We will usually check in with you to keep you informed, and to check arrangements. Where possible we will visit the performance site, and may also prepare publicity materials.
Our working pattern is often spread across multiple projects simultaneously. We allocate times based on our own internal deadlines and work is completed in bursts. No two projects demands are the same. 

Who owns the script?
Avalard Productions Ltd retains all copyright in any original material we produce, unless we specifically agree otherwise.

Will you produce an event based on my script?
If you already have a script in place, and would like Avalard Productions to perform and produce it for you, talk to us. We have different agreements for these scenarios but providing you have the rights in place, nothing is out of the question.

How much will it cost?
Our prices vary depending on the specific event or project. If your event is tied to a budget, please present this up front. Discounts are available for certain venues, repeat bookings and early settling of invoices.

Do I have to pay a deposit?
To secure bookings a deposit of at least 25% of the agreed fee is required. 

What happens if I cancel?
Your deposit is forfeited in most circumstances. Depending on when you cancel (or reschedule) additional cancellation fees may be applicable.
