I'll grudgingly agree based on the word "some." I've got a couple friends on the board of a local CT who've been trying to get me onto the season schedule to direct "Brighton Beach Memoirs," which I utterly adore, but it keeps getting pushed out of contention by pet projects of other board members. I don't love EVERYTHING by Simon, though.

Wow. You're getting 27 bucks a head? I'm impressed. We're still wondering if $12 is too much for our market. |

Two recent money makers for us were "Marvelous Wonderettes" and "The Kitchen Witches", both small female dominated casts.
I used to think the Neil Simon guaranteed solid box office, but don't anymore. A few years ago we did "Barefoot in the Park" and it tanked big time. |

We just tanked with Harvey. I'm still trying to figure out what's been going on. |

We have had a lot of success with our show www.caddiewoodlawnmusical.com
Three big productions last year. Barron Players sold out every school matinee performance! |

The last play I was involved with that made mad money was Agatha Christine's "Murder On The Nile." Audiences really seem to love Christie pieces.
