WARNING
Setting up something so
labour intensive and elaborate,
that no one’s currently
asking for, wants or needs,
in a deprived area, during a
cost-of-living crisis,
taking full account of
cross-cultural sensitivity
and the number of people
who’ll need to cooperate and collaborate, is
AN ABSOLUTELY
RIDICULOUS IDEA!
As a business plan it’s
“Jack and Rose” scale
dead in the water
Before you even open a spread sheet.
It's true, even if we sold every ticket for the maximum 6 performances in each of the 4 venues it wouldn't even begin to cover the wage bill for 15 or so artists, creatives, sales and management staff traditionally required to maintain a project of this size. Let alone pay for scenery, costumes, rehearsal space, insurance, van rental, posters etc etc,
BUT WAIT!
There's Good News
WE CAN STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
AS OCCASIONAL VOLUNTEERS,
GIFTING OUR TALENT AND SPARE TIME
TO HELP REIGNITE AN INTERTEST IN THEATRE,
THROUGH THE POWER OF
TELLING THE WORLDS GREAT STORIES,
SIMPLY AND POWERFULLY
AT THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY
To help us explore the feasibility of this, to gauge interest and to make a case for funding and support
