I realize this is such a sensitive time and subject to everyone about how COVID19 has impacted our businesses, families, finances and our every day routines. Please stay safe and healthy and follow mandated safety guidelines. Keep in mind, your decision to participate will help save many lives, return to our normal routines and get back to what we love the most…ENTERTAINING!
COVID 19 UPDATE TO EMPLOYERS AND SOLO ENTERTAINERS:
- We would love to share with all entertainers there are now loans and grants available for small businesses that will entitle you means to keep your business and employees paid.
