Great performances happen when we work together. The Fergus Grand Theatre's Co-Presenting Program creates new opportunities to bring diverse and exciting artists and performances to our stage.
What is Co-Presenting?
Co-pros are a common way to expand audiences, increase performance opportunities, and mitigate risk. There are many different forms that a co-presenting/co-pro event can take. Usually two (or sometimes more) parties work together to present an artist or show, under mutually agreed upon terms.
