Programmes

Fri, 1 July 2011, 11:17 am

A 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.
