Programmes
Fri, 1 July 2011, 11:17 amA recent community play that I attended had a superb programme, beautifully printed hard card glossy cover, a total of twelve sides of A5. The layout was excellent, thumbnail colour photos of the cast and crew. The font was about 10 pt, well above the diabolical new normal of 4 point. The only trouble was it was $4 a copy.
I suspect that the theatre group may have a lot of unsold copies.
After buying the seat ticket, purchasing the dreaded 3 raffle tickets for $2, is $4 a little too much for a programme when a $2 (or perhaps $3) simpler version would suffice? Or am I a tight old whinge.
If you have local adverts
Mon, 4 July 2011, 11:29 amIf you have local adverts in the programme, which generaly covers the cost plus, why don't you make them available & the punter could make a donation if they choose to do so.
The same with seat cost, whatever they wish to pay, I've done this & I think the price for a seat worked out to an average of about $30 odd a ticket. The most from a single punter was a $100 note for his seat & he put $50 in for a programme, mind you he just won a packet at the races.
I noticed when i was back home in Pohmyland, A number of ameatre groups had a standard glossy cover 8mo size programme & just changed the info on the inserted leaves.
At a couple of ameatre shows I attended, a programme was placed on each seat & included in the seat price.
