Producing Harriet’s House Episode 8: Our Community Support Campaign

Last week was a busy week for Gailey Road Productions. As mentioned in my March 1 blog, the audition call for Harriet's House is now out. To view the call and express your interest in setting up an audition visit Work in Culture (www.workinculture.ca).

Last week the Sound Designer for Harriet's House, Dan Parker, came to town for a week to compose the sound track for Harriet's House. Jocelyn, Gillian and I had an opportunity to hear some early samples of what Dan was working on and were delighted with the music he composed and performed. Dan finished his work on Friday and he and I went to Hart House to hear what it would sound like in the theatre. We were really pleased with the results. We want to extend our thanks to Hart House Theatre General Manager Doug Floyd and technician Christopher Wilson for their assistance on Friday.

Our community support campaign begins this week. There are three ways to support our production of Harriet's House:

Become a Community Supporter! As a Community Supporter you will be able to promote the presentation of Harriet’s House through your organization’s social networks. This may mean passing on information about the play to members on your listserves or other social networking sites. In exchange for their promotion of Harriet House, all Community Supporters will be recognized in the program.

Become a Community Sponsor! As a Community Sponsor you will be able to support the presentation of Harriet’s House with discounted tickets to the show. Specifically, Community Sponsors will have the option of purchasing blocks of 15 tickets for $150. This represents a discount of $8.00 from each regularly priced ticket. In exchange for their support, Community Sponsors will also be recognized in the program.


Become a Community Partner! As a Community Partner you will have the opportunity to make a great contribution to the production of Harriet’s House. Community Partners are invited to support Harriet’s House with the purchase of a quarter of possible house sales (100 seats), a third of house sales (150 seats), or half of possible house sales (225 seats) at the price of $10.00 a ticket, also a discount of $8.00 from each regularly priced ticket . In return for their support, Community Partners will be recognized in the program and given space for a half/third/quarter page advertisement of their organization in our program.
