Sharing the adventure in live performance brings us all together.  Nate Watson Tours is  committed to creating a space and opportunity to build lasting memories and make the travelers more connected to you.

Theatre tours are a unique way to be in a shared live space with your patrons, donors and board.  Expanding your reach, nurturing new friends and increasing relationships into sustained giving opportunities. 

Anytime!  Most theaters have the best opportunities in the fall and spring but we’ve done them year round.  We work with your artistic and development teams to find a date that doesn’t conflict with vital work at home such as opening nights, rehearsals, galas, play readings, vital holidays, etc.  Bottom line, we are flexible to you. 

We can tailor a group of any size!  Typical tours range from 18 to 30 travelers

Yes!  We have discounted staff and artists rates available.  A part of the tour is building relationships between your team, board of directors, patrons and donors.  Artists also benefit by their exposure to a wide breadth of work and engaging with audiences.

We understand that arts organizations have much on their plate with limited resources.  Using Nate Watson Tours, you can focus on the work at your home stage, the theater’s mission, community and artistic goals.

Yes, there is.  Nate Watson Tours gives you a set price per person based on the number of travelers.  Generally, the more travelers, the lower the cost to the theater and traveler.

It’s easy!  Simply determine the donation level to be added. This will be your set brochure tour price.  The donation portion of the tour can be based on your goals, objectives and giving capacity of travelers.

Working closely with your artistic team, we select the play line up and experience around your choosing.  We always book the best seating available for your traveler’s theatrical enjoyment and comfort. 

It’s never to soon to start.  Typically a 6-8 month lead is preferred.

We have examples of previous brochure, traveler information and itineraries from other tours that you can customize.

That depends on the capacity and interest of your patrons and donors.  We suggest an aggressive  marketing campaign  for the theater tour as soon as possible to get as many travelers signed up.  

Nate Watson Tour highly encourages individual travel insurance for their piece of mind and for any of life’s moments that would deviate from their plans.  Cases of illness, medical problems or travel delays and cancellations can be mitigated with good coverages.  We can assist your travelers in having travel insurance for their journey
