[SML] OT: Promoting theatre

[Chip Wood]

+++1

There is a HUGE market out there from Senior citizens.  They grew up on 
theater and appreciate a night out.  We toured the homes and Vet 
facilities and drew a large crowd every show.  A local theater brings in 
bus loads ( most facilities have their own buses) esp on weeknights.  
May have to have earlier curtains because they need their sleep, but the 
money counts the same.

We call our discount Industry nights "Starvin' artist" nights.
