Brent Graber and Annette Kaczanowski in character for No Way to Treat A Lady. This is not a scene from the show, but it's an idea I had and couldn't resist giving it this surreal look. The show is a dark comedic musical based on the Rod Steiger movie. Opens March 2 at the Bristol Opera House.
Sort of. No, it's not this website, or shiny new lights, or a retractable roof, but it's still cool, if a bit daunting. Karen and I have been working on another improvement to the theatre's web presence (spearheaded by my daughter Demarée Dufour-Noneman last year). This time it's a new ticketing system that will give Elkhart Civic Theatre a lot more marketing capability and user convenience than we've had for a while. It will roll out over the next couple of months and won't really affect this season's sales much, and the public won't really see it until sometime in August, but we're excited. The system has a number of marketing bells and whistles that will allow us eventually to sell season tickets online, remind patrons they have tickets for an upcoming show, and a lot more. I know this isn't the typical post for a personal blog but I do think it's cool news and will benefit the theatre greatly.
