The Nita

R&G is sold out for Saturday night.
As of last night, tonight's audience is sitting at 80 - pretty damned close to another sold out show.

WHEE!

Having sales for your show leaping to make you glad you said yes when you were asked to produce.

Between yesterday's last report and today's report (including the walk-ins last night, as reported by my sweetie), we're up 35 ticket sales from yesterday.

35.

One day.

Dude.

*huge grin*

Tonight's audience is...15 away from being declared sold out as well (if you're planning on coming tonight, and don't have a ticket or reservation, call 519-886-0660 or email boxoffice@kwlt.org ASAP.)

Yes.

And there's still next week to fill with word of mouth.

Ho-freaking-rah.

KWLT presents Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard

Where: St. Jacob's Church Theatre, 1376 King St. N., St. Jacobs ON

When: March 22-24, 29-31, 2007 at 8pm

Tickets: $15 for non-members, $10 for KWLT members. Group & Eyego pricing available. Please call (519) 886-0660 or email foh@kwlt.org to reserve tickets. Tickets also available for purchase through Centre in the Square (519 578-1570) for a small surcharge.

Rosencrantz& Guildenstern Are Dead is about ambiguity: ambiguity in time,place, comprehension, identity. The two characters brought into being within the puzzling universe of the play, by an act of the playwright's creation and other characters they encounter, often confuse their names, as they have interchangeable yet periodically unique identities.They are portrayed as two clowns or fools in a world that is beyond their understanding; they cannot identify any reliable feature or the significance in words or events. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern inhabit a world completely beyond their comprehension. While awaiting instructions, they fall back upon games -- word play and simple wagers-- that rarely achieve their intended goals. In the end, they resign themselves to their fate, although Guildenstern says, "There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said -- no. But somehow we missed it." Perhaps.

Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

Thank you to all the folks who came out and made FASS so memorable for me. This time, I'm producing KWLT's next Main Stage production. I'm a publicity tramp, and I'm hoping you all can come see the show!

( Official Stuff )



(And while you're waiting for R&G, check out the February One Acts, and all the other things KWLT has on the go at www.kwlt.org)

(More or less reposting much_ado's post, but with some semblance of capitals and removing extraneous commentary towards the producer)

If you're a non-member, you can purchase (not just reserve, but you must actually pay for) tickets for a specific evening for the members' price of $10/ticket through any of the cast or crew of KWLT's production of "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead."

For those living under a rock for the past several months, here are the show dates again :)

Thurs-Sat, March 22-24 and 29-31, 8pm curtain all shows.

To purchase said tickets, here's what we need:

• the names associated with each ticket


• your contact phone/email information


• number of tickets required,


• the nights that the tickets are required,


• does the patron require the tickets in advance or will they be held at the box office,


• amount and method of payment (cash or cheque made payable to "Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre")

No payment = no reservation. I believe, and will confirm, that paid reservations can be refunded at the door.

Contrary to much_ado's post, I think I'm putting together a little contest for the cast/crew for ticket sales - prize to be determined and announced at Sunday's rehearsal (and then email). Not that I have a competitive streak in me or anything.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

KWLT would like to announce

You do not need to show up each night, however we may have call-backs.

To all the nice folks who told me that they could help me this Saturday with the audition poster run, I'm going to let you sort of off the hook.

Because I won't have confirmation from the KWLT BoD until next week that we're going with the address we've got, I am loathe to put up posters that say "contact us at XXX to find out where they are being held".

Sooo...

I'm going to be putting posters up the following Saturday (December 2 for those of you paying attention). If you're still free, grand. If you're not, I understand that changing schedules sometimes mean casualties, and the holidays don't help that at all.

Many thanks to those of you who offered to make time for me on a potentially chilly November morning. I'll take advantage of you another time.

Hey folks,

If you live in KW and know of a board room, meeting room, etc that I could rent, beg or borrow for 3 evenings (specifically, January 3-5) for the R&G auditions, please let me know. St. John's Lutheran has changed their minds recently about letting KWLT continue using it (it's been a few years, seems reasonable, just bad timing for us), so we're in hunt for a new space.

If you're not comfortable commenting here, please email me at akilgour at gmail dot com.

Many thanks!

Edit: Currently calls out to:
KPL
WPL
Kitchener City Hall
Waterloo Rec Center
Zehrs Laurentian

(Yes, yes, I know - this is early - this way folks can actually prep anything they want with *time* to work on it)
