SOURCERY selling fast
Thu, 23 Nov 2000, 12:38 amA quick last minute reminder:
The final performance of Blak Yak Theatre's SOURCERY - rescheduled from last Saturday when the electrical junction box at the Don Russell Centre exploded - will be held this Saturday at the "equipped-with-a-brand-new-junction-box" Don Russell Performing Arts Centre.
Last Saturday's performance was practically a sell-out, but we were informed by Western Power at 7 PM that the supply would not be restored until late in the evening. We had to turn away close to 200 patrons and, unfortunately, some of them were unable to reschedule for this week. Consequently there are a few seats available, but they're going fast! The cast and crew have regained their adrenalin rush and they're geared up to go out with a bang. To reserve a seat, please ring Kim on 0500 52 52 59 (cost of a local call).
A final apology to anyone who tried to attend the show and couldn't; both Blak Yak and the Don Russell Centre extend their apologies, but it was just one of those things that happen and can't be blamed on anyone. Except maybe Neil. Yeah, let's blame Neil...
Jarrod Buttery,
President, Blak Yak Theatre.

RE: SOURCERY selling fast
A word in support of 'Sourcery'.
I went to see this show last Friday and was very impressed.
You will not find better comic timing in a production this year.
Technical timing of sound FX etc. was also outstanding.
My 12 yr old and his friend were spellbound, and I, admittedly a very peurile adult, enjoyed every minute.
Of the show that is.
I didn't enjoy a single minute of the 30 or so I spent in the queue to lay hands on my pre-booked tickets. The box office 'process' seemed to involve some form of laborious computer fiddling and individual printing of tickets. I have no idea whether this was under the control of your club, or was DRPAC's responsibility, but whichever, I'm afraid it was an embarrassment for your club.
Very sorry to hear about your fire on the Saturday, but hope this Saturday will make amends for you all.
Go and see it. Take some kids. You won't be disappointed.
Congratulations to Daniel and the Blak Yak team.
Regards, Jonno.

Hi Jonno,
Wow! Thanks for the kind words, and sorry for your queuing experience. Not being at the show on that night, I was mortified to hear that it started 30 minutes late (!) because of problems at the box office. My apologies to anyone else so disadvantaged.
Unfortunately, Blak Yak Theatre has nothing whatsoever to do with the box office at the Don Russell Centre. We have in the past suggested that perhaps pre-booked tickets could be pre-printed, but maybe it's time to present the suggestion again.
Once again, thanks for your comments, and glad you enjoyed the show.

Gnurrrk!
It's not my fault, I tell you! I was in South America at the time - in a country that has absolutely nothing to do with incendiary devices!

Is it true that Neil is a member of the Ananda Marga sect and once lived in Sydney? Old habits die hard obviously.
