LEB: Marketing and Production Management

Preparations for Last Eyes Blinded have continued a pace over the last couple of weeks. We have now officially signed our contract with Salisbury Playhouse and I’ve started working with our Technical Team to prepare that side of the production. We’ve been provided with a plan of the Salberg Studio lighting grid so that we can start drawing up precisely what we want in this respect.

We’ve also officially launched our marketing drive: see the posters and fliers on the Last Eyes Blinded Production Page and if you feel like it download and print them off if you have the unstoppable urge to put a few up for us! Additionally, I’m wandering round Salisbury on a regular basis convincing local businesses that they’d love to support us by putting up a poster or two, notably a display in Waterstone’s, and working with the lovely people in the Playhouse Marketing Department. As a result, we’ve actually even managed to sell a few tickets, thus beginning my traditional obsessive checking of ticket sales to ensure that we meet our targets and don’t lose lots of money.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to have our first Production Meeting where we make a few decisions without having to bore the actors to death with them! If there are any particularly interesting points I’ll let you know in my next post!
