Problems So Far and Resolving Them

1. Venue:

Original Plan: Have the usual layout of the hall with the front of house in the canteen.




Modified Plan: Use a marquee to house front of house, back stage and the stage.




This was a chosen solution by Mrs de Lancy Green and Mr Hawkins as it was a safer option due to the large cast size of 90 instead of the discussed 60 in the summer. Due to this I will need to manage a team to create a welcoming front of house with adequate stalls for our sponsors due to the increased costs.




2. Seating Change:


Original Plan: To use the school hall with 260 seats, then with marquee changed to 330.




Modified Plan: The ordered tiered seating uses now 357.




This was a decision made by Mr Hawkins as the seating reflects the chosen marquee layout. The extra seats more tickets need to be sold to a wider audience, this will need an increase in advertising and getting the word out. I will need to work closely with the school office and our sponsors to ensure appropriate emails and information are given out accordingly.


3. Licence:


Original Plan: To have a large social media campaign to spread the word and create a 'hype' around the production.


Modified Plan: The licence prevents this as we can only advertise and discuss the show on the school website.


To adhere to the licence legally we are obliged to not have any social media campaigns. Through out our promotion of ticket sells I will have to make sure that the reception staff and those emailing and sending letters through school adhere to the regulations.
