BCOS

Generally our staged productions have costs of around £10,000 to present.

• The supporting professional band can represent as much as 30% of the costs
• less than 70% of the show's income is generated from ticket sales
• Front of House sales, Advertising and Sponsorship help us to plug the gap
• As a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation BCOS does not receive any public funding
• We rely on the generosity of individuals, organisations, businesses, charitable trusts &                         foundations and our audiences to help us survive in an increasingly difficult economic climate

In 2016, for the first time, we offered individuals the chance to sponsor the orchestra for our staged production, Carmen The Musical, and we were delighted that so many people stepped forward and supported us.  We did the same for Pinafore & Chess & were delighted with the success!

Look out for details of our 2019 Evita Orchestra Sponsorship details!

Our audience's Front of House (FOH) experience is as important to us as the show itself.

Good quality food and drink is important.

For the past couple of years we've tried to carry through the show's theme into front of house.

With HMS Pinafore we had nautical inspired beers "Pacifico'

Last year for Chess we had Chess themed table cloths etc and Russian and American beers.

For Evita we hope to be similarly themed FOH, with Argentinian Wines and Beers.

Are you, or do you know, a local events/bar business that would be interested in associating themselves with the local community and supporting this side of our production?

We typically have costs in excess of £500 for the FOH and would love to be able to have somebody support us.
