Frequently Asked Questions
How are these shows different than those that are available to the general public?
Some of the shows booked are only available through school assemblies and not to the public.
How will I know about each event being booked?
Each event will be listed on the Current Events page along with a detailed description and directions in as much detail as possible. For example, if an event has loud music, this will be noted in case that is one of your considerations. An email will be sent out to inform subscribers of a completed booking so that you may put it on your calendar as soon as possible.
What are the benefits of subscribing to this service?
While there are many benefits to the subscription (see the Subscription page), the main benefit is that by joining together as a group, the costs are shared so that B.E.E. can offer a schedule of professional shows, for a fraction of the cost, to families with school children often not available to the general public.
What is the cost of becoming a subscriber?
The subscription cost for families per year is $40.00. The subscription is renewal on an annual basis. A small additional fee will be charged ‘at the door’ for subscribers, estimated @ $5.00 per show, per person with a maximum of $20.00 for the family. For those attending who are non-subscribers, the fees ‘at the door’ will be higher, estimated @ $10.00 per person, and $ 30.00per family.
Can I attend a show without being a subscriber?
Yes, you can attend, however the cost ‘at the door’ is higher for non-subscribers.
How will I receive information about shows, events and general information after becoming a subscriber?
Once you are a subscriber, you will receive periodic email communications about upcoming shows, events and activities planned for subscribers. You will be added to the distribution list for "The Buzz!".
How can we join?
You can join the organization by visiting the Subscription page, reviewing the information, filling out and signing the Subscription Form, and submitting the form along with payment via mail to be added to the Subscriber roster. You will receive a Subscriber Card in the mail to confirm your subscription within one to two weeks from receiving payment and all signed paperwork.
What is the Suscriber Card?
This card is proof of your subscription. This identifies you and your number of family members. It needs to be shown at each event to take advantage of the subscriber rate.
What if I choose to bring another family's children to the show?
Your card identifies you and the number of members of your family covered. If you bring children from another family, then you will have to pay an additional charge at the door at the Subscriber rate per event.
How many shows can we expect to see in a year?
Initially, we expect to book at least 4 shows each year. The number of shows may change as our subscriber list grows larger. As subscription numbers increase, we will be able to book more shows geared to specific age ranges of children.
What is the age range of children for attending shows?
The shows and events are geared for children in the K-12 grade range. Each event will be marked to indicate the appropriate age range for children to attend.
Can I bring children under 5 years of age to events?
Yes, you can bring small children. Even though your own child’s voice may ‘sound like a megaphone’ to you, it is not necessarily going to disturb the larger audience. We do expect parents will exercise discretion as to when to exit a venue during an event with your children if necessary.
What about bringing children with special needs?
Events are usually held in venues that are wheelchair and stroller accessible. For any other information on appropriateness for your child , please do not hesitate to contact us.
