Thank
you to all who
participated and assisted in so many different ways in `Precious
Gems’, our latest
production. We have had a good and
interesting response from a wide variety of sources.
A very positive response for me has been the attitude
adopted by the young ones who were not part of the production but attended as
members of the audience. Besides
obviously enjoying the show they seemed to pick up on the work ethic and the
need to work and repeat movements and get it right. I notice a marked change in the way they are
learning.

Promotional Leaflet
We have developed a promotional leaflet for the
school and company. It will be
distributed in a variety of ways. You
can immediately check it out on my blogg site on www.theatreonmain.co.za
If you can help with the distribution process please
let me know. The printed form will be in the entrance hall at the school. It can be emailed as well or downloaded from
our blogg and forwarded directly to people you think might be interested.
RE Tulbagh Performance
I sent out notices requesting people to simply tick a
box saying yes or no. There was a two
week period to respond. I constantly
reminded everyone in the classes to return the forms. The term end was approaching and I had to
inform the Tulbagh organizers for them to formalize arrangements. Only one
person returned a `no’ response, twelve did not respond at all. Everyone else was very supportive as
usual. One responded positively a week
after the date I had given as the deadline.
With this result I decided to cancel the performance which I was very
unhappy to do, which caused the Tulbagh organizers distress as well as all
those who responded positively.
I am accessible by land line, by cell phone, by
email, in person six days a week, via the notice, why was it impossible to
communicate with me? If there were
complexities we could have discussed and hopefully resolved them. We have in
the past.
I noted that the majority of these non-responsive
people came from two classes and it leaves me in doubt as to their commitment
for the future. I would be interested in having a response.
Request for Bursary sponsorship
We have developed a short two page email request to
send to business, corporate and private individuals. It is not a blanket email to send to all and
sundry but if you know of anyone who might assist please let me know and we
will forward this email to you. If people would put their own cover letter with
it that would possibly be best. Should
you prefer the email to come directly from me, forward relevant details and I
will carry on from there.
Request of another kind
I urge anyone who can assist with this please to do
so. I will be the conduit and see that
the products are delivered.
