Memorial Day Slump

Well, the weather is beautiful and the bars/restaurants are cleared out. Wherever Midwesterns go to 'get away', they went there. I remember doing Pains of Youth back in '02 during Memorial Day weekend, and that was in a four floor walk up in lower Manhattan with air conditioning we couldn't run during the show because it was so loud. Oh the good ol' days.

It's hard on the actors when they're performing for only a dozen people. They still give it their all, but it's exhausting. We've done what we can do get people in the seats. We went on a bar crawl the other night with postcards. We've offered discounted performances and even gave them away last weekend for the movie shoot. What more can you offer than a free show and then to be in a feature film? The answer is clearly Dancing Girls.
