Actor causes Broadway stir
Wed, 3 May 2000, 05:37 pmIn the light of a recent article in the ITA Link newsletter, where ITA Secretary Norma Davis, speaking about the thankless task of marketing and publicising a show, noted
"If houses are full then it's a marvellous show, if they aren't then it's your fault for not publicizing the show properly."
It's interesting to read that one very prominent actor, Patrick Stewart, perhaps better known now for his work on Star Trek: The New Generation than previously with the Royal Shakespeare Company, took matters into his own hands at a recent Broadway production.
Stewart is reported to have made use of the curtain call at the end of the show to publicly criticise the producers of the Arthur Miller play for failing to promote the show adequately.
Are there any actors out there prepared to take a leaf from this distinguished actor's book and very publicly address the issue of poor publicity?
Watch out publicists!
Cheers
Grant

I meant every darned word of that article.
