The player of the character who organises the theatre tent (in the League camp) posted this on Faecbook, where her name is Joanne Webster. She asked that someone should copy it to here. So here it is.
THEATRE POST- please read if you are intending to be part of the performance or if you would like to come and watch. And I need to advertise this in as many forums as possible…if you are a member of any Empire nations forum and cannot see this post appearing there, can I please ask that you copy/paste it on my behalf to spread the word- obviously I don’t want to spam groups, but I need to ensure other nations get this information, and this is the only way I can think to help get the word out
ALL nations are welcome to the theatre. We’ll have plenty of fliers with this information at the event, but this is the best way I can think to advertise ahead of time, so here are all the things you need to know:
Please can anyone who is looking to become part of the theatre team present themselves at the theatre as early as possible on Friday evening for a briefing. I am still looking for volunteers- there is a lot to do!
Friday during the day: When you see the tent go up, please come along and give a hand with set dressing. It doesn’t take long if I have some help. The with ladders are especially welcome!
Friday evening- the theatre is still available to rent as a space for your own rehearsals including any covens who need a space to practice Dramaturgy, anyone wanting a place to conduct a meeting, or simply a place to enjoy a drink and chat with the theatre team and any acts who happen to be about. I’d like to start up a regular friday night mini-party- any acts are welcome to stop by and advertise your art, be that with spontaneous performances or to pin up a flier indicating your talents to the crowd- be courageous and unafraid to have pride in your artistry
The theatre runs on donations…we cannot keep going without them. The saturday event is free but even if you can spare a ring or two it would be gratefully received. We have no fixed income of any sort, and I am therefore always grateful to any sponsorship from patrons. I am always happy to make time to speak to any prospective patrons…we can see how we may assist each other
Saturday night main event will start at 2030 this time…but please feel free to come by early to gather and get excited!
Any acts please PM me. I will need to speak with you before the start of the event, ideally make yourselves known to me as early as possible. If you don’t get chance to PM me before the event please come and find me as soon as you can
The theatre team will be selling tickets to the Autumn competition which is back again this year…it was very successful last time and I hope to make it even bigger and better this time around. If you are interested in participating please see myself or the theatre team for details.
The VIP tickets to the Autumn event will start at 1 throne, and will include priority seating, refreshments and other little treats, as well as pride for having contributed to the theatre itself
As last year I am also looking for anyone who would like to sponsor a category for the competition, and I am looking for judges- please see the team for details
In the coming seasons I am working to redevelop the look of the theatre, especially the outside, to bring you a better appearing structure- something we can all take pride in. I have also started work on plans for a diversified programme of events…but it will take a lot to make it happen. I am and the theatre team are as ever grateful for all of your support. We have a long way to go to make it the theatre I envision, but I have faith that we’ll get there, one performance at a time.
