Older audience members
Mon, 27 Aug 2012, 09:12 amAt the weekend I was talking to an elderly, but reasonably fit lady who was a regular attender at the Melville Theatre. She no longer drives so has to stand at a bus stop to go and come back from the theatre only one kilometre away. At nights, especially after the show, she is too frightened to do this. She still very keen to see shows but has had to give up the theatre trips.
Not just for this theatre, but has anyone any suggestions, or is there a theatre group who has a few 'friends of the theatre' who can pick these non-disabled fans to let them see a show?

Gordon, if you can pass on
beautiful idea, Gordon!
Grant?
companion passes
I think this is a great idea. Give the person who picks up the older member (as I said hse is NOT disabled, so doesn't really need special transport) a concession price on their ticket, it would be a good token thank you for the help.
I will get this pleasant lady to contact the theatre directly.
