Announcement
Greetings Old Friends, New Friends, Families and Broadway-Style Musical Lovers –
Here, now, the news:
· Business promotional purse-strings are opening to provide on-stage product and logo placements in FEARLESS! première performances (See below).
In addition to gaining the “quiet” attention of captive audiences, these arrangements —combined with individual patron-of-the-arts sponsors— include news release mentions, program ads and acknowledgements, and are helping to cover production costs. Why? Because when production expenses are paid, ticket sale proceeds can then be donated to three top area charities:
o Habitat for Humanity
o the (nonprofit) nationally renowned Bryan Symphony Orchestra
o the Mustard Seed Ranch for assisting high-risk-endangered children.
· You last saw Artistic/Stage Director Mark Creter’s terrific credentials. We are pleased to announce that Mark’s wife, Jennifer-Dotson Creter (Stage One Dance Studio) with an impressive list of chorographical stage accomplishments will be the FEARLESS! Choreographer. And attached (above) to this email are the credentials for our truly outstanding Music Director Mendy Richards.
· The new Nashville-produced documentary video: The Creation of FEARLESS! has now made its debut appearance on the website. Simply click on the title link.
· YES: PBS-TV will be producing a 5-camera video of the entire performance, audience included, for post-performance (can be pre-ordered) sales. YES: A successful “Women’s Patron-of-the-Arts” fundraising tea was held on January 16th and YES: A Live Art Auction will be held of diverse creations and media representations of “FEARLESS!” at the Magical Muse Gallery on April 15th.
· The magazine article draft sent to you (just before New Year’s) was reproduced in full as a news feature on the homepage of AMAC (the rival to AARP) on January 21st and then distributed a week later via email newsletter to AMAC’s 1.5 million Member-Subscribers nationwide. It was reproduced again by two other online newsletters. Click here to see the final version.
· Top technical stage lighting and audio engineer teams have been recruited and are presently working on plans to best represent the complex stage lighting and sound equipment for the theatre’s largest (24-piece) orchestra – larger, incidentally, than in the available history of almost all Broadway musicals as well!
· BEEN WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE OUT YOUR ON-STAGE PERFORMANCE DREAM? Open audition tryouts will take place at Tennessee Tech University on May 2, 3 and 4 . . . 44 on-stage actors, actresses, singers and dancers will be recruited. Online registration is required for advance scheduling.
So, that’s the whole kit and caboodle! We are delighted to hear so many of you are making the trek here, and we so much look forward to seeing you for this special experience. When you order online tickets remember to let us know the date you choose so we can be sure not to miss you! Also note that the $16 tickets go to just $10 when you order 3 or more!!!
HAPPY END OF FEBRUARY AND BEGINNING OF MARCH TO YOU AND YOURS – Hal & Val
