Laura and Max at the Flea Market
Permalink Closed

Per the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS website, Laura and Max will be signing autographs at the Celebrity Autograph Table at BC/EFA's annual Flea Market and Grand Auction.  They will be there from 12:00 - 12:50 PM, Sunday, September 23.

What this is...every hour throughout the day, from 11 AM to 4 PM, about 10-12 actors sign autographs (posters, programs, etc.).  They do this for a donation of $20.  You can get every actor at the table for $20.  Then, the actor goes to the photo booth where, I believe for a separate fee, you can have your photo taken.

The list can be found here:
http://www.broadwaycares.org/events/CelebrityTable090707.pdf

Among the actors scheduled to sign autographs throughout the day are F. Murray Abraham, JoAnne Worley, Tony Roberts, Amy Irving, Bernadette Peters, and the Redgrave family, Vanessa, Corin, and Lynn.

Do you have any idea if you get the photo immediately and if they will sign it even if for another 20 dollars.

I've never been to the flea market but I have been to MLB events where you have to pay for a photo with a player. In those events they have a special printer right there and it prints your picture out immediately. I'm going to guess that the flea market is the same.

I believe they give you one of those cardboard frames and they sign that.

Last year, it was $20 to go through the celebrity table and $10 per photo.  Plus, the flea market poster you can get signed is $20, as well.

Yes, that's the way MLB did it.  The photo prints out and you're given a cardboard frame.

My question is can you buy one poster and use it the whole day or is it one per table?  Someone had said something to me that made me think it was one per table.

Technically, you can spend the entire day going through the line during each session, for $20 + $20 + $20, and so forth. You buy the poster and you use it the whole day.

Of course, there are so many good tables that I highly recommend not doing the celebrity booth at all, unless you're DYING to meet someone. In many cases, the actors are performing and you can get autographs at stage doors.

This is the one occassion where I never realize how quickly the $$ leaves my hands.

Theater Development Fund has a table where you can win theater tickets (30 raffle picks for $20 or something, and if your tickets have dots, you win tickets), nearly every show has a table selling signed items, props, costumes, etc., Playbill.com has a table, Betty Buckley and Brian Stokes Mitchell will be signing their albums, the non-profit theater companies sell their marquees, Michael Crawford's fanclub has a table, there's a table devoted to selling Playbills by the season, etc.

And then there's the silent and Grand Auctions where they auction off the high-end merchandise, from hand-written musical phrases by composers to walk on roles in shows.
