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.

I recently directed a show and had a beautiful coloured programme 12 double sided pages A5 size on shiny glossy paper and all it took was communicating with local businesses in the area. I had a local photographer who advertised their business in the programme for free in replacement for photos to use in the programme. Also printing companies are DESPERATE for work you can always negotiate cheaper prices for free advertising. The programme we achieved achieved sold very well and at only $2 no one could complain. One may say $4 is expensive for a programme in all honesty I tend to agree knowing you can make money from a beautiful professional looking programme at $2, all it takes is the effort to rally local small businesses to provide there services for a few adds.
