Annual Press Preview at the Pageant

[cdub260]

Last night, June 1st. 2009, we had our annual Press Preview at the Pageant of the Masters, in which members of the press are invited to come backstage and get a little taste of what we do in Pageantland.

Here's a news clip from Fox 11 in Southern California.

There are, of course, a few errors in their reporting but it's a decent preview of this summer's show.

Yes, but more importantly: whatever happened to 'Dip? Is she going to be back with you this season?

Last time I talked to her, she was planning on coming back. As for where she's been, she's been working hard on her senior year of high school. She's set to graduate next week.

That's really cool! I hope I can come around sometime to see it. I love seeing what people from the booth actually do!

Well, we open July 8th. and run seven nights a week through august 31st. this season. Let me know if you do come to see it. I might be able to arrange a backstage tour, though I can't guarantee it.

Great, I'll try to get down there myself. It's not that far of a drive

That is some very impressive work you guys do. But I must say, what a strange art form!

Looked great though.

Sort of like mime, only more boring.

And yet we've sold out all 2600 seats in the amphitheatre for every performance over the last decade.

Let's see. Thats 2600 seats times an average 54 performances per season times 10 years. That's roughly 1,404,000 butts in those seats.

Yes, I know you can do better Derek, but your venue's a lot bigger than mine and is a road house. We just do the one show.
