For our first production in our new refurbished venue.
I have proposed we adopt 'Pay what you like - Admission. Or Admission by donation.
The 5 performance season would cost about $[AUD]1200 & it holds just under a 100.
But I feel we will recover a lot more than charging our normal ticket price/seat. Also get a lot more bums on seats.

I am still upset that we put on this drama (AD's choice, not Play Committee's choice).  We had to beat the bushes to get 3/4 of the house full each night (and one of our matinees was only half full).  Everyone who saw it liked it, but the audiences want comedy.  Lots of our regular patrons didn't attend because they didn't want to see a play about cancer, even if parts of it were humorous.


 
We had this same problem with Moonlight and Valentino.  We had people complain that it was the worst show we've ever done (the acting was fabulous, trust me, we've done a lot worse)--I think it was just too "real".  I think Marvin's room we did ok, but we also did a special performance (a joint venture) of WIT and we had to cancel ours because we only sold 8 tickets.  Yep, 8.
