Q: I want to move forward with including GLFP at my next charitable/volunteer event, what should I do?

A: Contact us by email! We will respond to you as soon as we are able to discuss the details further. In general, we will need to know where and when the event is, what kinds of activities you would like our performers to do, and what your character preferences are. We will let you know how many performers/assistants are coming, and we will do our best to accommodate any character requests you have (subject to availability). We do not charge or accept donations, we perform purely on a volunteer basis.

Q: Can we book GLFP for our child’s birthday?

A: Greater Lafayette Fairytale Performers is not available for birthday parties! We only accept bookings for volunteer and charitable events. We recommend Mermazing Princess Parties for all your birthday and private event needs.

Q: I represent a local business, and we would like to partner with you. How can we collaborate?

A: We are happy to participate in collaborations that support reputable local charities. For example, we are happy to offer meet and greets or an interactive story time with our fairytale characters for a time period at your business, with a portion of proceeds during the time we are present being donated to a reputable local charity. We are also open to other forms of collaboration that support a charity, and are happy to discuss the details further. Feel free to contact us anytime!

Q: What characters do you offer?

A: We offer a variety of fairytale characters and heroes that children know and love! Please visit our characters page to see a list with photos.

Q: What is included when selecting GLFP for our event?

A: We are happy to provide a wide variety of services and activities! For highly attended events, a meet and greet format allows a large number of guests to have a magical experience with beloved characters, and get a photo to commemorate the experience. For events with a more limited number of guests, activities like an interactive story time, singing, dancing, etc. may be a better fit! We are open to your input and want to create an experience that is tailored to your needs. Reach out to us anytime, and we are happy to discuss details and collaborate further. The number of performers available is subject to availability, we cannot guarantee all characters/performers are available for all dates/times.

Q: Do you bring your own assistants?

A: Yes, we have highly experienced assistants on our team. Our performers are prepared to make sure events run smoothy both in and our of character! Assistants are present to ensure performer health and safety, answer questions about GLFP for guests, take photos (on a guest’s device), and more. It is important for performer health and safety that our assistants are able to focus on their tasks, and therefore are not typically able to take on other tasks related to running the event.

Q: Do you take donations? Do you take payment for your events?

A: We do not accept payment for our work and we do not take donations! We are a group of volunteers, and we are proud to volunteer to serve our community. If you would like to support our work, the best thing you can do for us is to spread the word! If you know of an event that could use fairytale characters, feel free to connect us. If your preferred method of support is monetary, please feel free to make a donation to a local, reputable charity in our wonderful community. We do our work because we love the Greater Lafayette area, and there is no better way to support us than to contribute to the wonderful community we live in.

Q: What are your COVID-19 precautions and procedures?

A: GLFP’s COVID-19 precautions and procedures remain responsive to the needs of the community and the guidelines and recommendations of the CDC and local government. We are confident that we can create magic for your next event while taking steps to prioritize public health and safety.

Q: Can I be a princess performer on your team?

A: We are not currently expanding our team at this time. In the event that this changes we will update this page with information on how to join our team. However, there are many other opportunities to perform that you can pursue. Check with local birthday party companies to see if they are accepting applications! We wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Q: Is GLFP a nonprofit? A business? A traveling theater troupe? Are you in a play or show?

A: We are a group of volunteer character performers! We perform as characters you know and love for events and organizations throughout the community. GLFP isn’t a part of a play or stage show, nor are we a traveling theater troupe (although our performers may be involved in plays, stage shows, and theater outside of GLFP). GLFP is not a nonprofit, nor are we a business, we do not accept any form of payment or donation. We are simply a group of individuals who volunteer together in our beloved community using our skills as performers. Similar to if your employer, church, club, social group, or organization has a group of volunteers who work together at local charities.

Q: Do you accept bookings outside of West Lafayette and Lafayette?

A: We typically do not accept bookings outside of Greater Lafayette and the nearby surrounding communities at this time! However, exceptions can be made to this policy for extenuating circumstances and/or performer availability. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
