About My Souvenir Programs
Souvenir Programs defined - Souvenir Programs are generally sold in the lobby of theater during the run of the performance.
- Broadway Souvenir Programs - Generally speaking, those sold during the Broadway run will include the name of the theater on the cover, though not always.
- Tour Programs will seldom include the name of the theater.
- Regional Theatre - Some non-Broadway high-profile regional productions produce souvenir programs
- West End / London - Theater programs fall into two categories in the UK - there is the equivalent of the US Playbill which lists the performers, acts and musical numbers, but don't include photos. Those you'll find ls
Condition - I use the following scale:
- Mint - as issued with no damage that would not be found when the usher handed it to you.
- Near Mint - as issued, but perhaps with some edge wear; no tears, folds, pen marks or appreciable damage
- Excellent - Great condition with perhaps a bit more wear at the corners; still no pen marks or creases or tears
- Very Good - Structurally sound with no tears may have ink smudging - may have pen marks and creases, chips in cover
- Good - Structurally sound - may have pen marks, minor tears creases folds significant wear to edges
- Fair - has pen marks, tears, folds, loose binding are all possible.
- Poor - Includes significant damage - loose cover, missing pages, large tears or missing pieces
To verify the actual damage, please refer to the photos - I'll try to get photos of the extent of the damage.
Shipping - You can choose your shipping method - The following USPS methods will be available (cheapest to most expensive):
- USPS Ground Advantage Rate - referred to as "Standard Shipping" or "USPS First Class" for any package up to 70 pounds, this option includes tracking plus $100 Insurance. These are in hard-sided mailers with more protection than the light-weight envelope used in Regular Mail.
- Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope - No weight limit as long as they fit in the envelope.
For larger packages (bulk purchases or heavier playbills) please ask about combined shipping - It's always offered. In order to give you a price, I need a list of the items you want to purchase.
Packaging - To prevent damage from rain, etc, I package all Souvenir Program in plastic to prevent damage from rain if exposed. The program then goes into an appropriately sized mailer and marked "Do Not Bend". If you have any special packaging requests, please let me know.
