...for Free and Cheap Theatre to have a
website!!!
"What?!?"
"I must be
dreaming!!!"
"It's the answer to my
prayers!"
Yes, it's true!! Now you can have
the complete Free and Cheap
Theatre experience at:
or
The site features everything you've ever wished for
in Free And Cheap Theatre,
including:
- The FACTs: A weekly
calendar (updated on Sunday) of this week's Industry
Nights. And an archive of old Free And Cheap Theatre Updates,
for your reading pleasure.
-
- Community:
-
- Links to all your favorite industry
websites. Email me and let me know what your favorite sites
are!!
-
- A community bulletin board (coming soon!) will feature events that
everyone should know about but that don't quite fit under the subject, Free And Cheap Theatre. For example, "My dog's hairdresser's brother has this awesome band, and
they're playing on Friday. It's only $5 to get in. I think people
will want to know about this."
-
- Mission: Yup, I've
actually written a mission statement!
-
- Get the FACTs: A place
where your friends can sign up to get the Free And Cheap
Theatre Weekly Update. And please, TELL YOUR
FRIENDS!!
"I love getting the Free and
Cheap Theatre Update in my mailbox every Thursday. You're not going to stop
sending it, are you?!?"
Don't worry! The most important part of my
new dot.com-dom is still going to be the Free
And Cheap Theatre Weekly Updates delivered directly to your mailbox every
Thursday. Since the website will be updated on Sundays, the Free And Cheap Theatre Weekly Updates will
carry the most current information about this weekend's FACT
opportunities.
I love creating the Updates and can't imagine
abandoning them. It just seems that a website is the next logical
step.
"Hey! You have a cool new email
address. What about that old one?"
"Who is this 'we' you keep
referring to?"
The Free And Cheap
Theatre Weekly Update wouldn't be possible without the support of great
people who have helped me in more ways than I can ennumerate.
Special thanks to the humble, yet oh-so-endearing Scott Lindenberger (www.wayfarerfilms.com, www.ariespictures.com) for business
development and Internet wizardry. Other "Thank You"s go out to the king
of marketing Mike McNamara, Johnny Knight (www.johnnyknightphoto.com), Genevra
Gallow, Anne Zaranek, and Mike Davis (www.stproductions.net), just to mention
a few.
"Gosh! I'm so
excited!! I can't wait to tell all my friends!!!"
Yes- please do! Forward them this
email. Mention it in rehearsal. Make it a class outing to see a Free
show.
The more people who receive the Free And Cheap Theatre Weekly Update, the better service I
can bring you. So if you enjoy the FACT Updates and the website, encourage
you're friends to check it out.
And now, the feature you all know so well,
This Week's Free And Cheap Theatre
Update:
-- Disciple (Walkabout Theatre) @
Timeline Theatre
As always, let me know what you're up to
-- especially if it involves a Free And
Cheap Theatre Opportunity!
Have a great weekend,
=)
