Promote the show
Print programs
Making sure people get what they need.
We have our theater companies with their actors. Each troupe has a time to work on stage before the show. We have been doing profiles on some of the participants in our festival plus really trying to promote the fest without the base of handing out material.
Why am I rambling on about this?
Because if anyone is reading this blog, I want you to come see this. It is time to get off the couch, save that DVD you were about to put in and come see live performance.
Performance that is living, breathing in your eyes. Performances that enlighten you, entertain you, indulge you and hopefully make you want to come back for more.
Why am I doing this?
Because it's about the small theatre companies that people rarely know about. Yes, there may be independent companies that some are familiar with that will be there, but we also want to focus on the companies that you don't necessarily know on an ongoing basis. They need honorable mention and we want to give that honorable mention right here and now.
So once again, let us give a breakdown of who and what is going on for the next few days starting Wednesday at the Tamarac Theatre of Performing Arts:
Wednesday, August 17th:
Excerpts from The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler
FSU graduate Lea Roy will direct and feature in previews of a production of Eve Ensler's flagship work about something that speaks for itself. The production will be a fundraiser for the Creative for Creative Growth at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre in November.
The Honesty Project
A collage of theatre, music and dance that was presented by the theatre program at Florida Atlantic University in the Spring. Based on questionnaires that were given to students speaking about their hopes, aspirations, fears, and their everyday lives. The students will revive a portion of their production on Wednesday evening.
