During the lead up to our show, I decided it would be a good idea to use a count-down on social media to show our company hard at work, and grab the attention of an audience, telling them… it’s nearly show time! I took inspiration from a theatre company I did a placement for in 2016, Zest Theatre, who advertise their shows in the same manner:

(Zest Theatre, 2017)

This was a great way to interact with our audience through social media, posting daily updates at peak times, making it very hard to miss!

Our countdown went as follows:

Our Set Designer, Sam getting the stage ready for tech day!

Our Costume Designer, Emma adding the final details to costumes.

Our Choreographer, Holly is polishing up our moves!

Our Marketing Manager, Emily is sending out emails in preparation for the big day!

Our Assistant Stage Manager, Jace is busy editing the perfect tracks for our movement sequences.

Our Producer, Jay and Director, Dwain are taking notes through our final run-through!

Our Stage Manager, Dan is cueing the lights, video and sound into the deck… we’re ready for lift off!

Alongside each of these pictures I posted a link to the LPAC website to buy tickets for quick and easy access; if a post grabbed someone’s eye, the link was right there to get their tickets – a big incentive, rather than having to ‘google’ the name of the show and search through the LPAC website which may have put them off.
