Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From? #3950

I can't imagine shows rejecting a playbill request because the donation you sent 'wasn't enough'. I figure that ultimately any dollar amount would be accepted. At least, that's what I hope. I sent a $20 donation to If/Then only to find out that ideally they want a minimum of $25.

^ I sent a $10 donation to Les Mis pretty early in the run, before I was even aware they were requesting donations, and they sent it back with a letter explaining they set the donation amount at $30.

Firebolts, I'm sure that if you wrote Judy Kuhn care of the theater (Circle in the Square), she'd send something back.

I imagine If/Then would send you a Playbill in exchange for the $20 donation ... I think it would be a lot of effort on their part for $5 and also they will appreciate that you sent a donation. That's kind of what I figured with Beautiful and it worked. I also said in the note that I hoped it was adequate.
I like a good rhyme more than a good time

Heard back from the Elephant Man today. (A tremendous sigh of relief all considering the show closes today). It took about 2 weeks.

Did you get a signed playbill from them? How much did they ask for since it's the end of the run?

Yes, I received a cast-signed playbill. I sent in a $40 donation.

Has anyone sent in more than one request to a show because there was a cast change and you wanted a signed playbill from the new cast? Are you just making the same request or do you reword your letter differently?

Heard back from Helen Mirren, Rosie Perez, and Kristin Chenoweth this week. Helen and Rosie signed 1 photo each. Kristin kept my items, her assistant sent back a presigned photo, postmarked from Los Angeles.

Has anyone sent to Chicago recently? For some reason I remember someone saying that they don't respond. Is that still the case?

@gleek Jennifer Nettles signed my photos for me. I saw someone sent to the stage manager and got a playbill but Jennifer did not sign it. Carly did tho.

I also got my playbill from the stage manager signed by Anna Chlumsky and the cast of You Can't Take... :)cant

Heard back from Hedwig and the Angry Inch and A Gentleman's Guide To Love and Murder. Unfortunately, Hedwig is no longer fulfilling autograph requests, even if you send a donation. All I received was a letter stating that, along with an unsigned playbill from the show and my returned money donation to BC/EFA. Really disappointed with that one, was really looking forward to getting an autographed playbill from that show. And Gentleman's Guide sent me a cast-signed playbill featuring their new lead, Jeff Kready (replacement for Bryce Pinkham).

I've heard from others who've sent to Kristin Chenoweth that she has her assistant fulfill autograph requests with a pre-signed headshot and disregards whatever items she's asked to sign.

Has anyone written to/heard back from If/Then? It's about to be three weeks since I sent my playbill request and $25 check for BCEFA and I'm wondering what their time frame normally is, especially with the closing looming.

I sent a check and request to Beautiful on the same day and heard back quickly. Neither of my checks have been cashed yet though.

I wrote to If/Then a couple weeks ago. Haven't heard back yet, either.

I sent to Aladdin and heard back within a couple weeks, but I never sent directly to James. He is probably the most popular performer of that show, so it might take a little while.

I sent James a signed Playbill request a few months ago and he responded. It took a really long time (over three months), but he sent me a signed Playbill and a short note.
