Oh dear, try something different and you get dumped on. Apologies for breaking your rules as to how this website can be used. Perhaps I should have explained myself more in my previous reply, and then a burst blood vessel or two might have been avoided.
Despite some very nice comments made about us here, we still consider that ARENA is not a company that has a very high "general public" profile. After all, most of our 125 projects over the last fourteen years have been Theatre For Schools (or related) productions, and we have only recently returned to doing public performance as well. So we are interested in HOW and WHERE people find out about us FIRST. It is something that our new Auditionee Info Form will be asking our auditionees. To make more efficient use of our resources it is easier to ask the 40+ people who usually audition for our Pratchett productions than trying to survey the 1000+ audience members who come to see the show.
The usefulness of this website took a battering recently in its own Publicity Poll (and interestingly the poll didn't hang around for too long, hmmm . . which is a pity since it was generating a lot of shared publicity ideas). We wanted to see how this related to Actors, so our Auditions were mentioned in various places. But this website is only a part of the whole picture of "advertising" auditions. We are also keen to know whether the 70+ newsletters we post out, the 40+ messages sent on a separate email list, or announcements on radio and the like are effective, too.
I would like to point out the mention of Auditions in Tech Talk section of this website was an oops. A hair trigger on the mouse copied the wrong message or it could have just been my usual techno-incompetence. Unfortunately once it is there, HOW THE HELL DO YOU DELETE IT??? Does anyone know??? But on reflection, it might not have been such a bad idea. As it's been pointed out to me, a lot of techs have little desire to act, but some, if they are Pratchett fans (and many undoubtedly are) may want to cross over to the other side of the stage and wouldn't look in an Audition section, therefore missing the opportunity.
It is not our intention to raise the ire of users of this website nor suffer their rants and raves. We were simply experimenting, and hopefully this is what this website is for. Inadvertedly the extra attention you have drawn to our Auditions may be good, but then again, having to post this reply may affect what we originally set out to do.
Now please excuse me, I have a life and a production to be going on with (and an adaptation to wrestle with!). But thanks to all that have made comments.
