<div dir="ltr"><div>I should have included that the school in located in NJ. It is a college prep boarding/day high school. In house we are very busy with the performing arts with 2 full production straight plays, 1 full Winter musical, 1-9th grade junior musical (1 hr production), 1- honors theater class black box production, 3 end of semester choral/ orchestra concerts 75 in chorus + 3 break groups within, 105 orchestra members with 6 breakout groups within, and finally 3 visual arts end of semester gallery exhibitions. So in house you can see we are quite busy. <br><br></div>We used to bring thru 15 roadshows a year on top of all this that were open to the public through subscription series and walk up tickets and were made available free of charge to the school students and faculty. We would be lucky to have 10-12 people ever take advantage of it. We reduced the roadshows to 2-3 and made it only available in house only due mostly to the 2008 recession and opening ourselves up to liability with the public suing us for every trip and fall and extra man power for maintenance and security needed for these events. <br clear="all"><div><div><br></div><div>So again looking for feedback from those in other educational institutions on how you go about structuring and choosing outside productions for your entire school population. <br></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">--JEL-- <><<br><br>John E.
