Fall Production Thoughts: Into the Woods
Ad Sales: Laurie Logan. Family Ads slightly lower, still had a strong sponsorship. There was discussion about creating theme templates specific to shows to model to new families. We should continue with offering “one liners.”
Concessions: excellent results
Tickets: (FYI: a portion of the ticket sales is only money that goes into school account)
Program: Laurie Logan. Many eyes are needed. Identifying students who are capable and willing will be important. We currently have 2 students apprenticing. 750 programs were ordered this year. Next year, we should order less.
Publicity: Posters (Andrea), our digital sign. We need someone in charge of the Family Network and a Facebook page to better advertise prior to the show. There was discussion of improving our advertising to the other schools.
Priority Seating: We will reserve 48 seats per night. If you have more than one child, you can have double the seats (2/child).
Child Supervision: We need two adults who sit on both sides of the aisles.
Thank You Cards: Picture postcards will be sent to our sponsors.
8th Grade Night
Spring Show: March 24-26, 2016.
