For my last guest-blog, I want to mention the OTHER liaison hat. Yesterday I was talking about groups and organizations to help you with your productions. The OTHER liaison hat is the one you wear when you are helping other production companies with their projects.
I know how all-consuming our own projects can be. But don’t forget to look up and see what else is going on. No, not to “see what the competition is up to” but to see what your peers are working on. I LOVE going to shows and seeing other companies being thanked in the program! “Mask & Daggar would like the thank Laff Snax productions for the use of their wheelchair,” etc. NICE!
It’s not just about filling seats and swelling coffers to make the next project bigger and better. It’s also about forging strong ties and building a stronger OOB community. Especially in these difficult economic times. Let’s face it, cats and kittens, we all have the same goal: to produce the best shows we can.
Anyone want to share a story about one group helped out another? C’mon! It’s almost Mother’s Day! Make her proud by showing her how you learned to share :)
… ok, I was reaching a little with that last one.
How about this parting thought?
In the war to save the arts, we support the troupes!
