## What is a Special Event?

A Special Event is any non-movie event, like a concert, play, party, etc. Special Events don't get reported to distributors. Special events are ticketed, and are one of the 3 types of posts that we collectively call "Shows" (the other 2 are movie and program).

## How to create a Special Event

- From within your cinema dashboard, choose **Movies**
- Choose **Special Event**
- Choose Add New
- Enter the **name **of your Special Event
- Enter a **description** of your Special Event
