Yesterday Abby, our publicity manager, and I set up a table in the union. This is the first time, since I came to Buff State that Casting Hall has done this. We wanted to promote our show, which opens this week. I think that having a table was pretty effective. We got a few more ushers on our list, for some reason people are not signing up. I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to come and see the show for free, although you do have to be early. I guess it is whether time or money is your priority. I asked Abby on a scale of 1 to 10 how good the table was and she said a 6 and I agree. It worked pretty well. I think we raised awareness about the play and our program.
I found out through this table how interesting people can be. They really did not understand what we were doing. And of course many just wanted the candy we were handing out. Note to self, bring no candy or a lot more! When we asked if people had heard of Cruel Intentions they lit up. Dangerous Liasons is the work that Cruel Intentions is based on. Of course this got everyone’s attention because when most people think of Cruel Intentions they think of girls kissing. I hate to disappoint them, but we don’t have any of that. I don’t know if I should tell them that or not. Let them come and see for themselves. After this bengal pause table experience we have decided it is something that should be done for each show, in the following years. It is a good way to raise awareness and get more people involved in our organization.
