Clue: The Musical
February 29 - April 20
(no performances March 21 - 23)

Mark at Garbeau's writes regarding "Clue", and also regarding a fund-raising opportunity for your favorite theater company.

Even though our core group at DMTC is currently in Tech Week for "My Fair Lady," I'd still like to get as many DMTC folks to make reservations and get out to Garbeau's as possible for the first two weeks. DMTC has a legitimate 501(c)(3) tax id number, so we qualify for donations.

Garbeau's is opening the first two weekends of its upcoming show, "Clue: The Musical!" as a fund-raising opportunity for Sacramento area theater companies (yes, that includes Woodland and Davis). In the process, you get to see a very fun and light-hearted musical murder mystery with some great talent that you probably know...

Here's the deal:

1) Call the box office at (916) 985-6361 to reserve a seat/table during the first two weeks of the run of the show. AT THE TIME OF THE RESERVATION, state that you are attending to benefit - (theater's name). Both show-only and dinner-and-show reservations will be accepted. Your reservation (as always) will be secured by a credit card and is subject to the same no-exceptions cancellation policy as everyone else. The box office will give you that info....

2) Show up, have fun, and try to guess "Who killed Mr. Boddy, in which room, and with which weapon?" Whether you identify the killer or not, $10 of your ticket price will be donated the theater of your choice. (Subject to seat availability, but the potential on a 220 seat capacity house is pretty good!)


Rules:

1) The theater company must have a legitimate 501(c)(3) tax id number to be eligible to receive donations.

2) To make sure a portion of your ticket gets to the right place, you must name your company at the time of making the reservation. Once you are at Garbeau's, you may NOT exercise an "Oh, by the way, I'm here for (name)" option. (This means that it would be pointless to talk to other existing patrons to let them know they should support your cause. )

3) It bears repeating that anyone who makes a reservation is subject to the same cancellation policy that all of our patrons get. Don't create an awkward situation between theater companies---abide by the policy!

4) Garbeau's is more than happy to have an open-book policy for the other theater heads. If you want to make sure the accounting is right, let us know and we'll show you the reservation listings. (Theater owners may receive one free ticket per owner if they wish. )

5) After everything is totaled, a check will be given to the appropriate theater companies within net 30 days of the event. (This is standard for non-profit events. )
