[SML] OT: Promoting theatre

[Ross]

What I have done when trying to advetise for my local community theatre 
(here in Iowa), I put something on the group's website (Facebook) then send 
press release to the local news outlets.  We also have been trying to build 
an email list so as to contact people about auditions and performances.

Things that effect ticket sales are location, the repution of the group, and 
the types of shows performed.  After one bad show, it might take 5 more 
productions to get people back in the seats.

I may not be good at it, but at least I try.

Taking off my “Tech” hat for a moment, does anyone here know of any 
podcasts, on-line forums or other idea exchanges for promoting theatre 
productions, producing ticket sales and "putting bums in seats?”
Running the gamut of Community Theatre, High School and college Theatre, 
concerts, circus and variety acts, and maybe even even commercial theatre - 
I’d think a lot of folks would have an interest in the topic but I’m not 
finding anything.
