What do you go to see?
Thu, 22 Feb 2001, 10:55 pmHi all,
I would like to open a topic up for discussion.
*What do you go to see at the theatre, what do you avoid and why?
*Do you only like certain types of theatre?
*Do you only go to see what your own club puts on?
*Do you limit yourself to a certain amount of shows each year?
*Do you only go to see shows that you have heard of?
*Do you only go to see a show if you know someone in it?
*Do you only see shows at certain venues?
Tell me everything you think and please be honest. (I am/have been guilty of some of the above so I am not out to judge).
You see, I am currently involved with a fantastic musical that has never before been performed in Perth, many of the handful of people who have seen it so far have raved and yet our bookings are absolutely dismal. I thought that this might happen to some degree because of PIAF but it's worse than I thought. I have heard that other amateur clubs shows are selling out before they open so I am keen to find out why our show is not doing well at the box office. Does the majority REALLY prefer another production of "The Sound of Music" to something new?
Please let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Gill

funnily enough i'm not aware that anyone has rung up to make sure people actually do appear naked before attending the show, but i know several have rung to make sure there is no nudity and it's safe to take the kiddies.
i wonder if the questions would have been so pertinent if the design had featured an apple?

neither.
a poster serves the primary duty of catching people's interest, secondarily creating a desire to see the show, thirdly informing them of any necessary details.
