I wanted to share two things we learned with our last production. We are building an audience for "straight" Shakespeare and are always looking for new ways to coax a reluctant public to give it a try. During our run we had had two unusual and unexpected groups show up. The first was two camp counsellors and a tribe of ten to twelve year old girls....they were great! Not only an extra 24 tickets sold but the girls were so "stage struck" that they actually asked the cast for autographs. The second was several care workers who brought the occupants of two disabled adult homes. They loved it!.. So we will be sure to advertise directly to these two "groups" again.
