Deal memos are short agreements listing essential information to let venues or crew get started on the work they’ll need to do on a production before all full agreements and licenses are in place. For example if you want to book a venue for the show but you still haven’t finalised all details, you would use a deal memo with the key information to hold the dates. 

Below you’ll find a comprehensive template for creating a deal memo as part of your producing work, from the Society of London Theatre.
