Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much does a show cost?

Church and non-profit rates are based upon the group's budget. Church and benefit performances are tailored to the church or non-profit program.

A solo theater or small venue performance by Jose Antonio Ponce is $300.00 + travel and accommodations. (I do travel in my own RV, time permitting and generally just need a large enough space to park it.) This performance is 90 minutes and comprised of two (2) 40 minute sets and a ten (10) minute intermission.

Dual performances featuring Jose Antonio Ponce and a guest artist are $400.00 + travel and separate accommodations for each artist. Each performance consists of one (1) 30 minute set by each artist and one (1) 20 minute set featuring both artists.

A solo two/three hour public performance for your brewpub, restaurant or lounge from Jose Antonio Ponce is $300.00 + travel and accommodations. This performance is comprised of two/three (2-3) 45 minute sets.

Local (Albuquerque) and non-profit performances may be produced at a lower rate. Sound system is provided by the venue. The artist will provide a sound system at a cost based on market rates. Consecutive performances (3+) at the same venue earn a discounted rate.
