Crew Notes
I have use for a stage manager, but can do without one.
Transport Notes
Plane, car, train, boat, any transport… Show fits into a suitcase, plus tables and chairs which can be purchased at any Bunnings and modified for the magic in the show.
Audience & Marketing Notes
The film-noir aspect of this show attracts an older, theatre going patron (2/3 of my normal audience). When I have done runs in established prestigious theatres with established theatre patron audience bases, I have consistently done well. Also, the silly joke title draws a more… robust demographic that otherwise wouldn’t normally wander into experimental genre-bending theatre, but might wander into an RSL. By the time they realise what the show is, it’s too late… they’re already laughing and gasping.
