Frequently Asked Questions about
Booking Laurette Willis
• For Churches and
Church Conferences: Can we combine a Seminar (such as Fitness for His
Witness) with a show (such as Great
Women of the Bible)?
A. Yes. Laurette is now bringing Keynote Presentations,
Seminars and one-woman Shows to venues
throughout the While Laurette can travel throughout the country (and now
internationally as well), experience has shown us that the best way to book
Laurette for performances a L-O-N-G distance from home is to schedule a tour
of several days’ worth of shows for her in area churches, club groups,
schools and/or libraries. Sharing expenses like this with other
organizations can also lower the cost for the sponsoring organization! Contact us to see if she is available
for the date you have in mind. Q. How far in advance should we reserve a date? A. We book anywhere from several weeks, months to
years in advance. Reserving a date does not obligate either party, unless of
course we have confirmed our booking with a contract. Contact us to see if the date you want is
available. PLEASE NOTE: If you are seeking funding through the Laurette
can sometimes accommodate a "last minute" booking, but it's always
good to reserve a date as soon as possible. Q. What kind of funding can we receive to help pay for a
booking? A. If you are an Laurette is
also eligible to work with Indian
education-funded projects (such as J.O.M.), and has done so since 1993. For those
outside of The
Oklahoma Arts Council will match up to half the fee for eligible
organizations. You would pay Laurette in full on the date of the show, and
the OAC will send a reimbursement to you once your final paperwork has been
approved. Mid-America Arts Alliance can cover up to 25% of the
performance fee for eligible organizations. Q. Is
the application process difficult?
A. No. Applications for funding are now processed
over the Internet. We will be available to help you through it and the great
folks at the Oklahoma Arts Council
and Mid-America Arts Alliance are
also very friendly and helpful. For more
information please visit the Oklahoma
Arts Council website.
Look under the “E-Grants” section. You may also check out the Mid-America Arts Alliance (search under Willis) website
for application information if you are outside of Remember:
Q. How
much will it cost to book Laurette?
A. It depends.... For example, schools eligible to
receive matching funds from the Oklahoma
Arts Council, Mid-America Arts
Alliance or Indian Education funds
would be quoted a different figure from organizations ineligible for such
funding (such as a church, business conference or family gathering).
Multiple school
bookings or more than one show in a day can lower the performance fee.
The same would apply to churches booking more than one performance – or
working out several church bookings in the same area. Fees are
negotiable, so just ask and Laurette can help you put together a program
within your budget. For Churches
and Ministry-related conferences, retreats and events, Laurette offers
several different options, such as Great Women of the Bible,
Susanna
Wesley: LIVE! or a Keynote/Seminar for an
Honorarium plus Travel Expenses basis. Contact Laurette for details. Q. For Churches and
Church Conferences: Can we combine a Keynote Speech, Seminar or PraiseMoves™ workshop with a show, such as Great
Women of the Bible? A. Yes! A winning combination for a Women’s
Conference, for example, would be a morning or afternoon Fitness for His Witness workshop, with a Keynote address or
performance of Great Women of the Bible
that evening.
