how do investors in a non profit production make money

Posted by: actor103 11:06 pm EDT 08/08/14

I know of people who put money into War Horse which was a non profit production produced by commercial producers with Lincoln Center. The investor I know did great with War Horse. Does anyone know how that works. Really think I want to do this with a show that I love. A lot of people are suggesting that non profit is the way this show could work. I want to help the producers make this happen. So I have a couple of questions. Would really appreciate advice.

1. How would I get profit from a non profit production?

2. I could afford to lose maybe 50k. What is the standard minimum investment for a musical? Is there one?

3. Although, I am willing to lose this money, I was wondering if there is a tax advantage for a non profit investment should the show, in fact, not recoup?

4. For 50k could I get billed as a producer and be eligible for a Tony? This is not why I would do it. But just curious about the perks are for
investors at that level.

5. Are investors always invited.to the opening and after party. I would HAVE to be able to enjoy that.

6. Has anyone done this. When it was over did you regret losing the money ( if that is what happened.)

I always regretted not doing this once before and want to try this one time. I am not rich by any means but I am totally cool losing the money this one time.

Thanks in advance for any knowledgeable response to these questions.
