RESTAURANT OWNERS
If you own a restaurant and would like to book the Follies, we usually charge by the person. We essentially become partners with you. We charge anywhere from $10 to $15 per person depending on how many seats your venue holds. You tack on your cost for dinner, tax and tip and there you have it! You take the reservations so you know how much food you need, and have the running count. We both help with advertising and marketing. The show lasts about 75 min. and is best to start after – not during - dinner.

FUN-RAISERS AND PRIVATE FUNCTIONS
Charlie Hall's OCEAN STATE FOLLIES is the perfect show for private parties, business meetings, or fundraisers. We have helped hundreds of organizations make money for their causes, including churches, temples, school groups, sports clubs, health organizations, charities, etc. We can even customize it to your needs - maybe pick on some people you have "advised" us about. Since the show is always updated, you can book us year after year if you want, or try one of our other offerings. You can take an intermission for raffles, bake sales, or refreshments if you desire. We provide the sound system, keyboard, artwork to make your own flyers and posters, and of course - the laughs! We can take the show anywhere. It can be combined with hors d'oeuvres, dinner or just the show itself. You get the place, and sell the tickets, and we'll provide a show that is sure to bring 'em in!

FOLLIES LITE
Okay, okay. You have a small budget. You can't afford $1000 for the whole Follies production. Well, although we'd rather sell you on the full show, we CAN offer this downscaled version. This is a small 2 or 3 person 50-minute show that we do sometimes on WEEKDAYS or AFTERNOON shows for senior groups, luncheons, small gatherings and the like. Usually it's just Charlie and a piano player doing his stand-up act peppered with songs and skits from his OCEAN STATE FOLLIES. Many times he can talk cast-member Doreen Collins into joining him with her musical impressions of Cher, Madonna, David Cicilline (yes, that's right), and Britney Spears. Price: Just Charlie $350, with pianist $450, with Doreen (if available) ...add $150. So for the full FOLLIES LITE...$600 -- for those who can't add without a calculator.

HOW WE CAN MAKE MONEY FOR YOU:
You need money to defray a school trip to Europe. You reserve the school auditorium that holds 400 seats. You put up posters, hand out flyers, and ask the kids to sell tickets for the show that cost $15 per person (maybe a discounted price for kids and senior citizens) 400 x $15 = $6000. Take away $1500 for the Follies and you net a cool $4500. Everyone's happy! The Follies take a third down to reserve the date, and hey, if you don't sell enough tickets the day or two before the show, we will "work" with you to take less so you don't lose any profits. The show must go on!

WHERE TO HAVE YOUR EVENT?
Besides school auditoriums, you can use church halls, Knights of Columbus halls, country clubs, hotel ballrooms, restaurants, outside tents, wherever! You can also make use of the restaurants at which we normally appear, although many don't hold more than 100. For huge groups there's the PPAC, the Odeum in East Greenwich and the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket. Other favorite venues for your event.
