Marketing at a theatre is fun.  Of course, I guess you could imagine that.  What I find the most fun is finding new opportunities to reach our ever changing audiences.  It’s interesting creating marketing for TCTA, because I’m really not just trying to put “butts in seats”, I’m trying to find great ways to communicate within our family.  We want to reach people who come in our doors, make them feel welcome, and hope they return for more fun.  It’s a pretty unique task…and very satifying.

One of the best ways TCTA gets “the word out” to prospective friends is our Stage Door Sneak Peeks.  If you’ve never been to one, it’s time you get signed up.  I had never been until I started my job here at TCTA a year ago.  I have been volunteering at TCTA since 1996 and figured there wasn’t much new to learn.  I was wrong.  The sneak peek was so informative and fun.  So, if you haven’t been, I highly recommend it.  The sneak peeks happen at least once per month and last only one hour.  Best of all…it’s free.  We promise you won’t be asked to donate any money.  It’s really just a fun learning experience and our way of trying one more way to help you feel a part of the TCTA family.

I know many people who volunteer at TCTA have family members who might join them in their volunteer work.  Consider bringing them to a one-hour sneak peek, so they have a chance to see what TCTA is and why you spend your time here.  Or, maybe you have co-workers who wonder why you spend so much time at TCTA.  Invite them to come have a behind the scenes tour and they might want to come see you in more shows…or they might at least have more of an appreciation when you come to work with dark circles under your eyes from lack of sleep during a tech week.

Everyone is welcome at sneak peeks and it is easy to find one that fits in to your schedule.  Linda Falley, our Development Director, schedules the sneak peeks and she even schedules special dates for groups wanting to come check us out.  You might have a civic or church group who would like their own special tour!  Call Linda for details (785) 357-5213.

Have a happy day, and thanks for being part of the family!
