Arranging to produce Harriet’s House at Hart House Theatre began with a visit to Doug Floyd, General Manager. Doug spent an hour and a half with me discussing the contract I was about to sign and explaining how things would work during our tech run and performance nights. Doug also reviewed how much different services would cost and helped me make good decisions about what I might need for the production and what I could do without.
Doug and I also spent a good deal of time talking about box office services, how Hart House Theatre charges the production company two dollars a ticket for selling their tickets, and what I could/be should be charging for our production of Harriet’s House. Here, Doug’s experience in theatre production at Hart House Theatre was very, very helpful. I settled on $18.00 a ticket (which would give us $16.00 a ticket) with a group rate of $15.00 for 10 or more tickets.
Tickets for Harriet’s House are now are sale and can be obtained at Hart House Theatre: uofttix.ca or 416-978-8849.
One of the advantages of producing Harriet’s House at Hart House Theatre is that information about our play is now up on the Hart House Theatre website. We will continue to update our information as it becomes available. For example, we plan to put out a casting call at the beginning of March and hold auditions at the end of March. Once we cast the production, the names and biographies of the cast will be added to Gailey Road’s own website as well as the Hart House Website.
The Gailey Road production for Harriet’s House is meeting later this week to discuss budget, publicity poster design and auditions. I’ll report on our meeting in my next blog.
All the best,
Tara
