To: 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

Mailbox Drop

Whoops! Sorry to give pointless information! =D *ack*

Actually, I was wondering - has anyone ever tried a simple mailbox drop? You know, going around the neighbourhood and shoving a flyer in with the bills and other mail? I'd just like to know what results people have gotten/would get from that!

Hope the show goes well Rebecca!
