PRODUCTION FEES
Production Fees are one of the five sources of income that support each production. The others are ticket sales, concessions, special activities and advertisements. Production Fees are the seed money to get the production rolling. Production fees are paid online at LifeLight Youth Theatre’s secure online payment system.
Families can also participate in optional fundraisers to pay their production fee and have no out of pocket expenses at all. Click here for a pdf of the PaperPie Greeting Card Box Fundraiser order form.
Special Arrangements.
While we think the Production Fee is a great value, we understand that it can be a daunting amount, especially for families that have multiple children in the production. We do not want to prohibit anyone from being part of a LifeLight Youth Theatre production. If you would like to discuss special arrangements/payment plan options, please contact LifeLight Youth Theatre at lifelighttheatre@gmail.com
