Show Fee's
Membership season 2021-22 marked the debut of Show Fees – a modest payment of £10 per show for performing members. Rest assured, no member will ever be asked to pay more than two production fees within a single membership year. This initiative was put in place to contribute to the costs associated with renting rehearsal venues and securing scripts/scores for our productions. Our diligent membership team will personally reach out to each member to facilitate the payment process, and rest assured, we’ll maintain an electronic record of all payments for your convenience and transparency.
