The Gangster Gala is a humorous interactive educational experience for it's patrons.  A portion of all monies raised will go directly to provide opportunities for children and the care givers of children who are mentally or emotionally challenged.  Already with tight budgets opportunities for the most needy are being lost.  The Gangster Gala is a win-win for all involved - the patrons enjoy an evening of fun, light hearted entertainment - and children will benifit by from the ticket sales to provide opportunities otherwise out of reach. 

WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT YOU GET

Our needs:

Upgraded sound system - including wireless microphones

Ceiling replaced with era tiling; crown molding around ceiling

Orchastra pit

Prints from the era

Costuming

signage

OTHER NEEDS

Promotional and Avertising budget

compensation for - cast/crew/operations for a six month run.

If we are not able to reach our goal the show will go on, but would not have the benifit of the best actors; orchastra or venue.  While the production is expected to generate a profit without outside assistance. thanks to promotion from the Minnesota Department of Tourism, the St Paul Visitor and Convention Bureau as well as other regional CVB's, Chambers' of Commerce, tour groups and more, the production would produce a much higher return if promoted beyond the boundries of those organizations to the extent required to generate a substantial return on it's investments.

Investors will recieve a percentage of the net during the course of the run - which is anticipated to run for years.  Tickets to opening night, acknolwedgement of investors, meet and greet with the actors are some of the perks that come with investing.  If an investor would rather donate than invest they would also recieve the above perks, as well as being able to claim the donation as a tax deductable write off.
