Every night after the opening of “Bermuda Triangle,” there were ten to twenty-five people waiting in the lobby hoping to get a seat via the “no show” route. To avoid confusion, please call or stop by the theater and tell a ticket seller or the house manager if you know your seats are going to be unoccupied.
Theater patrons were asked to fill out a survey with an eye to recruiting interest other than attendance and to find audience preference in the way of future selections for coming seasons. Comedy and drama were virtually tied and musical comedy came third. Close behind were farce and musicals. Finding a suitable script to fit the area is the easy part. The play-reading committee found dozens. The difficult part lies ahead; for without a competent director, actors, and the many people behind the scenes, a play cannot come to life.
While “Love Letters” will be the last performance of the season, the theater will undergo its usual “shakedown” before the opening curtain in the fall starts the cycle all over again. Hopefully there will be more stage microphones, sound backstage so the actors can hear their cues, and an overhaul of the wiring system. Just like owning a house; something always needs fixing or updated.
