It's a tough call, particularly on the Island - where modesty-to-a-fault is the standard. But my Dad once said "If YOU don't think what you're doing is worthwhile, why should anybody else?"<br>It's tough to cut through the white noise of an Island summer. Word of mouth is your best friend, as always, and is already working with your show (as I knew it would) ... but that only works with Islanders.<br>Bottom line: it ain't show ART, it's show BUSINESS. People have to know you're there. If an actor in a diaper falls over on the stage, and nobody is there to see it ... well, what's the point?<br>Nilsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709531.post-61679606571008062212004-07-23T19:37:22.000-03:002004-07-23T19:37:22.000-03:00You unconscionable tart!

I've actually chosen to not go to shows because its been either over-promoted or under-promoted.<br>If your goal is to have more people come to your show, too much or too little promotion can do the exact same thing...Keep people from coming. If the work is as good as you think (and it is, I saw it), then it will speak for itself, but there's no harm in a plug or two for yourself. And besides I don't think you'd ever have to worry about having that reputation.<br>Cynhttp://mamadunce.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
