Finding Audiences for Shakespeare
Thu, 23 May 2002, 08:24 amTo: Anyone who thinks they might be able to help,
From: The Production Manager of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'
Hi,
Our company is currently rehearsing 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. The director and myself have had this 'vision' (corny I know) for over a year and on June 14th that becomes reality. My question is; 'Where do I find 500 people to come and see a fantastic show?' Other theatre companies? Uni's? This website? Please help by either replying with suggestions or just bringing a huge group of people to come and see the show. You can book on 9744 3567 (credit card facilities available). The show is on in Sunbury (30 mins along the Calder Fwy from Melbourne, Vic) at the Victoria University (Building 20). Please come and see it, it's a fantastic show and even if you don't like Shakespeare, the costumes are great, we've transformed our theatre into a forrest (complete with full sized tree and cliff face), and the cast are young and vibrant,and it's really funny!
Please help

Schools
Mon, 27 May 2002, 01:07 amIt's obvious I know, but go around to your local high schools or even primary schools. Talk to a PA teacher or an English teacher and see if they wish to make a group booking.
If you cannot get there yourselves, just send a poster along with some cheaper flyers to the schools' addresses and voila! They usually get motivated enough to display the poster and flyers around the school. =)
NB : Schools like a few weeks warning on these kinda things. Don't leave it til the last minute!
