Warning! This is not where you cut corners. Email us for free insurance advice.
We are not insurance agents, brokers or lawyers. Rather, theatre professionals and producers who have learned a great deal about theatrical insurance needs throughout the years. This allows us to remain impartial to a particular company or policy and offer you advise without ties to those companies.
GENERAL LIABILITY
Required when you rent a theatre space. We obtain the insurance for you as your producing consultant. A typical 6-week 99-seat theatre run costs from $375 to $750. (Rates can be lower for a small audience or more for larger venues or audience.) Ask your theatre manager if he is able to provide a certificate rider for your production. Be certain that your production and you are named on the certificate. If you or your production are not named on a certificate, you are NOT COVERED. If this information differs from what you've been told, please email us for a free insurance consultation, insurance@plays411.com
