Take Me Out Added Performances...

Due to audience demand, we have added two additional performances of Take Me Out on Sunday, June 11 at 18 at 7:30 PM.

The decision to add performances is never an easy one. We have to make a best guess determination if the additional cost of producing those performances (which means overtime pay for everyone involved) is worth what we would potentially make in box office sales. You never figure on selling a 100% on an added show. You simply don't have as much publicity going into those performances as you do your regularly scheduled ones. If you can sell 75% of those seats, you are doing well.

And sometimes the expenses aren't just monetary. Six shows a week is hard on the actors. Especially if you are doing two shows on any given day. It takes a very special effort from them to make sure that Sunday evening performance is of the same caliber as the Friday or Saturday night performance. Luckily, all the actors in Take Me Out are pros, so for us that was not an issue.

By the way, if you still haven't seen the show, we hope you do. The Box Office number is 972.450.6232. You can get great seats at those added performances!
