General Policies: Because we host events at historic locations we cannot host fire performers or pyrotechnics, however we highly encourage LED as an alternative for light shows! Entertainers are required to provide their own General Liability Insurance and provide us with a COI as additionally insured (no cost to you from your carrier). Promotion of the event you have been retained for requires a commitment to share event links, social media posts, etc. We offer a complimentary meal to each performer and a PLUS one in addition to the hourly rate. We do not offer a per diem, lodging, or paid travel expenses. Due to the amount of emails we receive, we will only contact applicants if they are selected. Our selections are based on theme and availability. We keep applications on file for additional openings and future shows. Don't forget to add info@themenagerieodditiesmarket.com to your email contacts so our response does not end up in your spam folder!
