Presenter Agreement

2027–28 Season

Board rosters, routine contacts, hotels, restaurants, directions, parking, load-in, and hospitality remain in the Presenter record and advance workspace rather than being repeated in the signed Agreement.

Artists and Confirmed Engagements

Select the confirmed Artist and enter the performance date. CenterStage then fills the season price, venue, technical-source status, and payment line from the selected records.

Agreement Amount and Payment Schedule

There is one remaining-payment line for every completed Artist line above. Due-by dates are calculated from the concert date and remain reviewable by authorized LOS leadership.

Technical Package

Controlled Terms and Signatures

1. Presenter Facilities and Production Responsibilities. Presenter shall provide, at its expense, the venue, stage, backstage areas, labor, utilities, equipment, security, permits, licenses, and local services assigned to Presenter by this Agreement and each incorporated technical rider. Presenter shall ensure that the venue is safe, clean, properly staffed, and ready at the agreed load-in time. If a rider conflicts with this Agreement, this Agreement controls unless a written amendment signed by both parties states otherwise.
2. Performance Rights and Local Licenses. Presenter is responsible for obtaining and paying for all public-performance licenses, permits, taxes, and governmental approvals required for the engagement or operation of the venue, except rights expressly assigned in writing to LOS or the Artist. Presenter shall not record, livestream, broadcast, reproduce, or distribute any performance without prior written approval from LOS, the Artist, and all other required rights holders.
3. Payment. Presenter shall pay LOS the amounts and on the dates stated in the Agreement Amount and Payment Schedule. Payments are not contingent on ticket sales, sponsorships, donations, attendance, or Presenter reimbursement. Presenter shall promptly notify LOS of any disputed amount and shall timely pay every undisputed amount. Acceptance of a late or partial payment does not waive LOS's right to enforce the remaining balance or any other remedy.
4. Presenter Default. If Presenter fails to make a required payment or materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure the breach within five business days after written notice, or sooner when the performance schedule reasonably requires, LOS may suspend performance obligations, cancel one or more engagements, retain amounts already paid to the extent permitted by law, and pursue its documented damages and other available remedies. LOS shall use reasonable efforts to reduce avoidable damages.
5. Artist Illness, Accident, or Unavailability. If illness, injury, travel disruption, or another circumstance makes an Artist unable to perform, LOS may propose a reasonable replacement Artist, reschedule the engagement, or cancel the affected engagement. LOS shall notify Presenter promptly. If the parties do not agree to a replacement or rescheduled date, amounts paid for the canceled engagement shall be credited or refunded, less nonrecoverable costs only if expressly allowed by the final approved Agreement.
6. Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by an event beyond its reasonable control that could not reasonably have been prevented or overcome, including natural disaster, severe weather, fire, flood, war, terrorism, civil disorder, governmental order, transportation shutdown, utility failure, qualifying labor disruption, or widespread communicable-disease emergency. The affected party shall give prompt notice, take reasonable steps to limit harm, and resume performance when reasonably possible. The parties shall first attempt in good faith to reschedule the affected engagement before cancellation.
7. Public Health and Communicable Disease. Each party shall comply with applicable public-health laws and binding governmental or venue requirements. Presenter shall maintain reasonable venue health and safety practices and promptly disclose a material outbreak, closure, or restriction that may affect the engagement. Neither party may impose a new health requirement on the other party or Artist after execution unless required by law, the venue, or written agreement. If a health condition materially affects safe performance, the parties shall confer promptly regarding reasonable mitigation, rescheduling, replacement, or cancellation under Section 6.
8. Rescheduling and Replacement. A change of Artist, date, time, venue, or material performance term requires written confirmation by LOS and Presenter. Email confirmation by authorized representatives is sufficient for scheduling approval but does not amend financial or legal terms unless it clearly states that intent. LOS may offer a comparable replacement Artist when the scheduled Artist becomes unavailable; Presenter shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its response when the performance date is approaching.
9. Merchandise and Concessions. Artist may sell customary merchandise at the venue. Presenter shall provide a reasonable sales location and ordinary access needed for sales. Any commission, staffing charge, tax handling, inventory procedure, or venue restriction must be disclosed and agreed in writing before the performance date. Presenter retains responsibility for its food, beverage, and venue concessions.
10. Complimentary Admissions and Credentials. Presenter shall provide the reasonable complimentary admissions and working credentials stated in the applicable rider or advance confirmation. Complimentary admissions remain subject to venue capacity, safety rules, and applicable law. Neither LOS nor Artist may resell complimentary admissions.
11. Accessibility, Nondiscrimination, and Safety. Presenter shall operate the engagement and venue in compliance with applicable accessibility, nondiscrimination, fire, occupancy, emergency, and public-safety requirements. Presenter is responsible for accessible ticketing and patron access within its control. The parties shall cooperate in good faith on reasonable Artist, crew, and patron accommodations, provided no accommodation materially changes the performance without written approval.
12. Insurance and Indemnification. Presenter shall maintain commercially reasonable liability insurance for the venue and engagement and shall provide evidence of coverage upon reasonable request. To the extent permitted by law, each party shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party and its officers, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from the indemnifying party's negligence, willful misconduct, or material breach. Neither party indemnifies the other for the other party's own negligence or willful misconduct.
13. Independent Parties and Artist Conduct. LOS and Presenter are independent contracting parties. Neither may bind the other except as expressly stated in this Agreement. Artist is not Presenter's employee. LOS is not responsible for an Artist's independent act or omission except to the extent caused by LOS's own breach, negligence, or willful misconduct. Nothing in this section limits obligations expressly assumed by LOS elsewhere in this Agreement.
14. Assignment. Presenter may not assign this Agreement or transfer an engagement to another organization or venue without LOS's prior written consent. LOS may assign this Agreement to a successor in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of substantially all relevant business assets, provided the successor assumes LOS's obligations. Any other assignment requires the other party's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
15. Notices. Formal notices must be sent to the authorized notice contacts shown in the final Agreement record by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight service, or email with confirmation of transmission. A party shall promptly update its notice contact. Routine advancing and scheduling communications do not constitute formal legal notice unless clearly identified as such.
16. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the law selected in the final approved template, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The final controlled template shall identify the agreed forum for disputes after counsel confirms the appropriate state, county, and court language.
17. Entire Agreement; Amendments; Order of Precedence. This Agreement, its engagement schedule, Additional Terms, and identified attachments are the entire agreement concerning the engagements and replace prior discussions on the same subject. An amendment must be in writing and signed or paired-initialed by authorized representatives of both parties. If documents conflict, the signed amendment controls, followed by this Agreement, the engagement schedule, and then the technical rider, unless the signed documents expressly establish another order.
18. Severability; Waiver; Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. If a provision is held unenforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions remain effective. A waiver is effective only in writing and only for the stated instance. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts and by an agreed electronic-signature process; each counterpart is treated as an original and all counterparts form one instrument.
19. Privacy and Information Security. Each party shall collect, use, disclose, and retain personal contact, payment, and operational information received under this Agreement only as reasonably necessary to administer the engagements, satisfy legal obligations, and protect legitimate business interests. Each party shall maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the information it controls and shall promptly notify the other party of a confirmed security incident that materially affects information received from the other party. Each party remains responsible for compliance with privacy and security laws applicable to its own activities.
20. Payment-Instructions Security. A request to change payment destination, bank account, remittance instructions, or payee information is not effective solely because it is sent by email, text message, or an electronic document. Before acting on a change, the receiving party shall verify it directly with an authorized representative using a previously established telephone number or another independently verified channel. Neither party shall be responsible for funds misdirected after the paying party disregards this verification procedure, except to the extent caused by the receiving party's negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.
21. Artificial Intelligence and Digital Replicas. Presenter shall not create, authorize, publish, distribute, or use any artificial-intelligence-generated or otherwise synthetic simulation of an Artist's or LOS representative's name, image, likeness, voice, performance, or other identifiable personal attribute without the prior written consent of LOS and the individual or rights holder. Presenter may use only the approved promotional materials supplied or authorized by LOS and may not use those materials to train, fine-tune, or prompt a generative model except with express written permission. This section does not prohibit ordinary technical editing expressly authorized with the approved materials.
22. Good-Faith Dispute Escalation. Before filing a lawsuit concerning this Agreement, an authorized executive representative of each party shall confer in good faith and attempt to resolve the dispute for at least ten business days after written notice describing the issue and requested resolution. This process does not prevent either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief, preserving a limitations period, enforcing an undisputed payment obligation, or taking an action reasonably necessary to protect safety, intellectual property, confidential information, or personal rights.
