Hans Brinker - Rehearsal Update

I'm starting off this week with the most important news of all - Hans Brinker is going great! The cast are getting their lines memorised, the technical apsects are finally starting to come together, and best of all, wait for it... tickets are starting to sell!

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to have a show that makes lots of advance sales. Even when it's just orders waiting in the drawer it's a great boost to the confidence and enthusiasm of the cast and crew (not to mention yours truly) to know that there are people out there who've made a choice to take time out of their lives to come and see the show that we are working so, so hard on. Thank-you to everyone who has purchased their tickets already.

But if you haven't gotten the tickets yet, what are you waiting for!

Why put up with the rush at the box office at ten minutes to curtain, when you can phone in your order to the box office at any time (the phone number is 519-787-1981).

Walk-in hours at the Grand are 11:30 - 2:30 Monday to Friday, so if you work in town you can drop-in on your lunch hour and the box office staff at the theatre will be happy to process your order in person, and you can leave with tickets in hand.

Do you know someone in the cast? Then they can get the tickets for you! Each cast member has been given a ticket order sheet, on which you can fill in all the info we'll need to process your order. As long as you send in payment (by cash or check) we can take the order to the box office for you, process it, and then give the tickets to the cast member who placed the order at our next rehearsal, and they can then get the tickets to you.

So there's lots of ways to get to the show, but there's only thing that really matters - that you be there! This is a great family show, and one that will fit well with the holiday season. For us here at Grinder it also represents major step: the final show of what has been a rebuilding year in 2008, and the first show in our quest to return to long-term sustainability in 2009.

Please join us for this adventure that begins on the frozen canals of Holland.

Happy Holidays, everyone.
