advertising/publicity

reading through some old posts i found that people were trying to find out ways of getting audiences in to the theatre... i dont know how to say this eloquently so i'll just say it...

until just under a year ago i had heard nothing of this website, before that i had heard NOTHING of any local theatre. true i am not much of a city person, it is a rare occasion that will bring me out of my burrow in joonda's but my point is this... i wasnt aware that there were so many productions and exciting things going on in perth! sure i went to see cabaret and by chance i saw Ristorante Immortale and then i left the country and heard of this website! i just cant wait to get back and explore the theatre i never knew existed...

so is it my fault for being an uneducated and uncultured buffoon or do we need more publicity for the arts? perhaps introducing more theatre in education would help to nuture the next generation of audiences...? i don't know what the answer is, but with so much talent and potential can we really afford not to find one...?
