Effective Date: December 1, 2025

1. Production Timeline

All productions including but not limited to full shows, custom acts, specialty performances, choreography, staging, props, and costume design require a minimum of 60 days for development and completion.
This 60-day production window ensures adequate time for creative planning, fabrication, performer scheduling, rehearsals, fittings, quality assurance, and final delivery.

2. Contract & Retainer Requirements

To initiate any production, the following must be completed before the 60-day production period begins:

1. Executed Contract:
   A signed service contract outlining performance details, production elements, and client responsibilities must be on file.
    

2. 50% Non-Refundable Retainer:
   A retainer equal to 50% of the total project cost is required to begin production.
    

   • Production work will not start until the retainer payment has cleared.
      

   • The remaining balance is due by the deadline specified in the contract (typically prior to the event date).
      

3. Requests Within 60 Days (Rush Projects)

Projects requested with fewer than 60 days’ lead time are considered rush productions. These may be accepted on a case-by-case basis and are subject to:

• Restricted availability of performers or materials
  The agency reserves the right to decline any rush project that cannot be executed to our quality standards.
