Something New?!

Theatre today needs something new, its all good going to a show, drinking your complimentary sherry, sitting down for a few hours to watch what may be a stunning piece of theatre then going home; but what about outside the auditorium? Or even inside it, the show doesn't have to start at curtain up and end at curtain down does it? Suggestions/Comments?

If you have a suitable area such as a grassy side to your theatre with trees etc to light up for atmosphere and access to a kitchen, have a meal before the show and drinks after the show.

Decorate your foyer with the theme of the show so people have something to stop and look at.

Include the show at the theatre as part of a progressive dinner or a river cruise.

Have a dress up theme to match the show, may not work for every night of a season so nominate one or two nights and tell them to book their party groups in early for a special discount of 10% or pay for 9 and get one free to encourage group organisers.

Run a trilogy in conjunction with two other theatres.
