Annie Program & Tickets

Hi, Everyone,
I still have posters and fliers if you need them.  I haven't received any ads for our program.  It's easier than you think to get people to advertise, sometimes it just requires asking.  See program ad fees at the bottom of this email.
Ticket sales are slow, however some of you have already exceeded your 20 tickets which is awesome.   Please send invitations to all of you facebook friends and contact everyone you know and let them know about this show.  We need to sell $5,000. worth of ticket to cover the theater costs only.  So if you know of a place you can put up a flier, please do it.  The more information we get out the better our return.  I have sent press releases and photos to the Deseret News, Standard Examiner, Salt Lake Tribune, and Davis Clipper.  I have also contacted 6 radio stations and sent them our public service announcement.  We will put up posters in Salt Lake and we always take our postcard sized fliers to all of the hotels in Salt Lake and put them on the consierge's desk.  If you have any other ideas please let me know.  Also, we have some complimentary tickets available to people who advertise in our program, to donors, and to anyone who might be of help to us in the future.  If you have any connections to anyone who might have a lot of money  or influence and may be interested in supporting JAKS in some way, please offer them tickets.  Thanks.  Jill

Annie Projects

Projects:

1. 2 platforms 20” high, 4’X6’ – kids will be dancing on these so they need to be sturdy.
2. 3 window frames with window box seats (box attached to one side) (3’ wide 8’ high- window seat 3’ wide X 18” high
3. 2 Shanty facades  about 5’ wide and 8’ tall – junk wood, cardboard, old window frames.
4. Design the front of the Roxie theater – we have a flat that will work for this

You can check out the following website – go to Set Design and Annie to get an idea of what we want for the windows and shanty town houses.

Let me know asap if you can help us out.

If you would like to do one of these projects you have a couple of choices:

    You can design them yourself

    You can get a design from us

    You can purchase materials as a donation and get a donation slip from JAKS

    You can let me know what the materials will cost and if it’s within our budget I

    will repay you when presented with the receipt- usually after the show

    closes, unless you need it sooner.

    You can request that we purchase the materials

    You can do the project at your home or other location

    You can do the project in our space at the Castle of Chaos in Riverdale

Other projects that are available are: painting and repairing flats, decorating the Christmas tree (at the theater), making a rolling cart for the Christmas tree, wrapping presents (or boxes), installing lights on our NYC set. 

Thanks for your help.  Jill

Flashmob

Hi, Millie Cast,

I mentioned a long time ago that we were invited to do a flash mob in Ogden.  Well that is happening on June 1 at 4:45 at Union Station in Ogden. no costumes, but I thought we'd do the opening of Millie   Solo - Belle, Solo -Millie - Boys dance - Girls dance - and the rest of the number. I think this will be really really fun and hope all of you can make it.  Wear whatever you want.  Let me know because we need a lot of people (it's a flash mob)  I can drive from rehearsal on Saturday June 1 (for Annie people) and can work out more carpools there and back.  We can all meet at Performance at 3:30 and come home right after the number. 

Thanks.
Jill
