THE MISSION STATEMENT
The Collection Agency Entertainment is a full service interdisciplinary booking agency, specializing in independent touring theatrical productions. TCAE represents professional theatre artists/shows, musicians and family entertainers who are especially suited for soft seat venues. TCAE is dedicated to supporting and developing the careers of its roster of artists nationally and internationally, to obtain quality performance opportunities for its artists in performing arts centres and at festivals, and to negotiate fees on behalf of the artists that are fair and respectful to both the artist and to the presenter. TCAE is committed to providing an artist engagement experience to artists and presenters that is professional, friendly and rewarding for all parties. TCAE endeavors to operate in a manner whereby presenters are recognized as curators, not simply as 'buyers'; artists are acknowledged as creators, not 'properties'; and the agent acts as an arts facilitator - not as a 'salesperson'.

A BRIEF HISTORY
The Collection Agency Entertainment was established in January, 2008. After spending 12 years as an arts presenter, Agency Director Tammy Fox entered into the artist representation industry with a wealth of experience in the performing arts sector, well-established contacts and a unique understanding and appreciation of the performing arts community.

The agency was created specifically to fill the void of artist representation services available to professional independent touring theatre, and to respond to the need for a dedicated theatrical agency for performing arts presenters looking for theatrical programming options, but having a difficult time sourcing what was available to them. In order to respond to the programming needs of ALL soft seat venues, the agency, while specializing in touring theatrical productions, chose to offer a multi-disciplinary roster featuring select musicians and family entertainers as well.

After just two brief years in existence, The Collection Agency Entertainment is already becoming well known and respected amongst both the Canadian theatrical community and performing arts programmers for the exceptional quality of its roster, the success of its artists and the integrity of its service. In 2010 Tammy Fox was nominated as AGENT OF THE YEAR by the BC Touring Council.
