The Misnomer Dance Theatre is a nonprofit troupe that uses technology to promote dance. It has sought entertainment that would not only dovetail with the event’s technology theme but would show attendees something they hadn’t seen before. Price is one of the largest reasons that Misnomer is a nonprofit organization. Nonprofit organizations can reduce their entertainment expenses by as much as 75% with their performances. Their fees rage from $5,000 to $25,000 and the Misnomer troupe has begun to pursue the corporate market. They cannot afford PR or marketing personnel but that gives them room to do a lot of fundraising. Their concerns range from possibly contracting with a charity whose goals and activities are inconsistent with their corporation’s values to winding up with entertainment that appears unprofessional or frill-less for the audience’s tastes.
Misnomer Dance Theatre has a very inspiring story. I did not know too much about nonprofit organizations before and this helped me to understand what they are all about. It is cheaper to afford and it leaves room for fundraisers. This company is a newer company that seems like they have been a victory so far. Misnomer sees themselves as professionals and they are looking to succeed in their business no matter what lengths they must go to achieve that. I am inspired by their story and it gives me a second though about nonprofit. Now that I know a little bit more about the organization, I would like to learn more of the possibilities.
