Spreading the Word by Annie Foster

It’s almost here - in eight days, we open our season!  And once we open, we stay open for the rest of our season.

This Sunday, four of the seven lovely ladies from Quilters appeared at our local Patrick Henry Mall to sing some selections from the musical.  It was great fun, and we were able to get some of that beautiful music out into the community.  Many mall patrons stopped at our table and took our information, and we had a couple of very special and dedicated fans sit and chat with the actresses afterward.  Three-year-old Hailey was particularly enamored - she may be both our youngest and biggest fan!

Yesterday, Steven, our wonderful artistic director, and Jordan McArthur, a very talented young actor from the Of Mice and Men cast joined me in the shop as we created dozens of stand-up posters on foam core for distribution.  For the rest of this week, it’ll be my job to brave the nasty heat and get out into the Hampton Roads community to give stores, restaurants, and any place I can find some TRR posters, stand-ups, and cards.

You can expect to see us in the Daily Press this coming Sunday in their Arts & Entertainment section, and you may already be hearing from us - we have advertisements playing on several local talk radio stations.

So tune in, read the paper, patronize your local shops, and stay cool in this heatwave!

Oh yeah - and buy your tickets!
