It has happened again

Every now and again we have a week or two with very few shows, and then as if by magic, there are a dozen opening nights at once.

Can I suggest that as soon as a director or producer is thinking about putting on a production, that they enter the play's name with dates, in the 'What's on' section of this site - even if it is a year ahead. Just the Title and Dates, no venue, cast etc required, you will have pegged out your claim.

This entry, which can always be deleted later if necessary, allows others to see what is happening in the future and so help them spread the shows around. It also stops the same play being produced several times in a couple of months.

Thank you

Good point however...

Respondingly to "The more immediate problem is that the rights holders and publishers take a dim view to companies publishing programs on the WWW before they have actually secured the rights. If you want companies to start publicising programs before they are finalised, then you are effectively asking them to apply for rights and even hand over deposits for productions that by their own admission may, or may not go ahead, which is an unworkable situation." specifically...

This is very true, however, a company does not need to have secured rights to a play to plan WHEN they want to play it. It is entirely possible to post your seasons as "TO BE ANNOUNCED" with the dates...
