FUNDRAISER AND SHOW INFORMATION

Here is the information as to how I can assist your theater or non-profit organization in putting on a special event fundraiser. I have done many of these types of events all over the country and will give references if needed in order to assist you in your planning.
 
The show is billed as: “A Taste of Italy” with Andy LoRusso, The Singing Chef. I have put together a special 90 minute show that can be either performed as an elegant sit down lunch or dinner show at the venue of your choice, for 150 to 500 people, that includes a four course Italian dinner served, or in a cooking demonstration and sing along presentation with food and wine tasting, set up right on your theaters stage. (See menus for both options below). With both of these presentations tickets can be sold to your patrons at varying amounts with a meet and great the chef as a special perk after the event. Ask about my special discount on my cookbooks and CD’s for perks to your patrons.
 
In the first option, the four course sit down dinner, I demonstrate three items off the proposed menu while singing Italian love songs and arias. In option number 2, I demonstrate at least seven items while interacting with the audience, the same as above. Your local caterers or staff, using my recipes, cooks all the food that will be served in both options. I will work with them directly to plan the event out.

All of the music for both shows is on DVD with beautiful images of Italy that are projected on large screens in the venue. The words to the songs that I sing are also on the screens and I encourage all to sing along with me.
The rider below will let you know what is needed to set my show up. We can talk over my honorarium for my services when you call me. That’s It! I will make myself available for any and all promotion either on TV, radio, and newspaper. I can be reached at 805.966.1192 or by this e-mail. I do look forward to talking with you and putting on a one of a kind special event for your theater or organization.
