Charles Seymour Jr's Theater Special Alert - Week of June 16, 2008 - StageMagazineOnline.com

Friends,

Thank You To Our Fathers (and Mothers)!

Major holidays are times that focus me and have me stop to think.

Fathers Day, spent with my family in my niece's and nephew's new home, was just such a day. Much of our family gathered to celebrate my father as well as celebrate those of us in my generation who are fathers.

Being a father is very important to me. Very. I see no higher calling for me in life (I'm blessed with TWO magnificent daughters!). If fact, my most recent project is all about being a father and I'll share with the world stories about fathers and the daughters they love.

Poignant stories. Heart-breaking stories. Loving stories.

Stories about special fathers (like policemen, veterans, athletes, performers, and so many more) and also stories about "ordinary" fathers and their special daughters (like cancer-survivors, scientists, adopted, straight-A-blue-eyed-ballerina daughters). And it will all be focused on my site which isn't even created yet, Fathers And The Daughters They Love!

But isn't that what we do in theater too? Don't we find stories that grab us, and then we want to share them with the world? And just as I will have books, CDs, DVDs, interviews, transcripts and more to sell, theaters have seats to sell. But unlike my newest project, if I don't sell a book today, it's there for me to sell tomorrow: THEATERs that don't sell a seat today have LOST it FOREVER.

Big difference.

Marketing is key to both, but it's very UNforgiving to theaters - you only have TODAY to sell today's seats… and you have NO margin for error.

So… continue to search for your heart-grabbing stories - but make sure your marketing is razor-sharp-focused!
