The countdown begins...

Well, we are coming up quickly on our last show of the 2008/2009 season and at the same time, my 5th year here at ECC. I feel like a lot has changed since I came here- in a good way!We have increased our audience dramatically- I remember looking at the houses for Forum and being SO excited that the front of the theatre was almost full. Now we have completely sold out Beauty and the Beast and Footloose and sold out 90% of the house for Once On This Island (a show w no name recognition. Heck, we had over 200 people each night for Cover of Life- and that was a no name stage reading!!!). It's a good feeling for me- I hope that we're bringing in new people and showing others the joy of theatre. I see new faces in the audience all the time- in fact, we ran a survey for Footloose and found out some very interesting things about our audience- and I think that's what my next post will be about! Following that, I'd like to talk about choosing the season for next year. I made some choices...and then I changed them (big surprise...)
