Shag-a-shingle Buy-a-brick

If your theatre is plagued by crumbling capital infrastructure, here's a great fundraising idea:

If a patron gets hit by falling pieces of your building - say a slate roof tile - present them with the following offer: if the patron covers the cost of the deductible on your theatre's general liability policy, then the replacement shingle will bear that patron's name.

Similarly, but more tragically, if your patron gets bonked by a tumbling brick and doesn't live to tell the tale, offer to name an entire course of bricks after the deceased if the family agrees to cover the costs of the funeral themselves, as well as forgoing any criminal charges, or civil damages.

Just some thoughts to help you make the best of your capital fundraising efforts.

  1. The brilliance contained here-in is staggering...any recommendations on how to get the shingle, brick, or ton of bricks to fall whilst remaining blameless? I know some people who I'd rather like to see receive honors posthumously.
