So our production for Annie has an odd run due to some scheduling conflicts and it's posing a problem with how I post dates and times on the poster.

Normally a poster would have it something like this...

March 2009
6th, 7th, 13th & 14th @ 7:00pm
8th & 15th @ 2:00pm

This show is a bit different though. We don't have access to the theatre on what should be our final sunday so we're doing a matinee on the second saturday.

I'm struggling on how best to write that out for a poster. I already think the way I've been doing it is still too "texty".

Any ideas?

I'd probably just add the date as another line:

March 2009
6th, 7th, 13th & 14th @ 7:00pm
8th & 15th @ 2:00pm
Special added matinee March 7th at 2:00 PM

Just my thoughts :)
