[SML] OT: Promoting theatre

[Richard Niederberg]

Dear Pat,
~40 years ago, when I was operating the Orpheum Theatre on the Sunset Strip
in West Hollywood, CA, across from Tower Records, I tried a very successful
experiment by having an unadvertised 'Street Theatre' show underneath my
marquee, with fake 'ambient' lighting, no visible microphones or
speakers, and no programs, except near a Top Hat that persons placed
''donations' in. It felt like Guerilla Theatre. I did as well financially
as if I had sold tickets.
