The silence of the blog

You will be well aware that the blog has hardly been a hive of activity in recent times. Of course, a blog that isn't updated is pretty much useless, but its original purpose was merely to document the refurbishment that took place last year. And, in fact, it is exactly 12 months ago today that I posted the first photo of the completed auditorium (as work moved into the green room).

Over the summer, we shall be gradually attaching plaques to the backs of seats for all those people that kindly and generously sponsored this part of the refit. We had to ensure that everything was fully tested, tried and the whole project signed off before we started this process (and we have actually only just received the final certificate of completion).

At the moment, we are currently redesigning our main marketing tool, the theatre brochure. The next edition, out in mid-August, will be a 16-page A5 design, to take into account the fact that we not only have a lot of productions to sell tickets for but also the first of our film weeks in September. 2010 is shaping up to be a very busy year - in fact the calendar is almost full and enquiries are even being made about 2011 and there are a couple of projects being planned that could prove to be very exciting.

So, we will relaunch the blog this summer, along with the new brochure, with a commitment to trying to update it at least on a weekly basis.

Hired Man UPDATE

Please note that both Friday and Saturday performances of The Hired Man are now sold out.  Less than a dozen seats remain for Thursday's performance.

The Hired Man almost sold out

Please note that at the time of posting this entry (Tuesday 2.50 pm) that there is very limited availability for the Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances of The Hired Man. In fact, we have only 4 single seats left for Friday. There is a better number of seats available for Wednesday's performance but these are generally towards the very front and very rear of the theatre.

We have been inundated with calls this week from people wishing to book 4 or more seats who have been disappointed to find that we have only individual seats or front row seats left. The moral of this story is, of course, PLEASE BOOK EARLY! Remember, we only have 180 seats to sell in the first place.
