It is a rare happenstance when a production is put on for one night only. Usually, they run several nights a week for multiple weeks, or even months. On the event page, the person who created it will most likely put the date of closing night as the end time for the event, as well as opening night for the start time of the event. That way, you will see and understand that there are various chances to see the show, and know exactly how many MANY times you could take one of those said chances and see it. This does not mean that you are expected to see the show every single night. We are not asking you to make the same commitment we have made to be there every night. We just want you there for one evening, maybe more if you choose. We just want you to be able to see it; we're flexible that way.
So when you say you cannot make it to opening night, and therefore will not be able to see the show at all, you display yourself as an unobservant git who deserves to be shot.
And it hurts our feelings.
Love, Tanika
P.S. I don't really believe anyone should ever be shot. It's just frustrating when we are excited for people to come see our show, and it's dismissed because people don't take the time to realize what's going on. It's just a vent, and I apologize to anyone who is offended or now worries I'm a homicidal maniac.
Too Funny! I have also noticed how many people reply with "Sorry, I'm out of town THAT NIGHT" Really? "That Night"??? Get a clue people! When have you ever known a show to run just ONE night? One weekend, maybe, but only one night??? Thank you from all of us who have seen these replies and wished we could say something similar (only perhaps without the gunfire ;P)
ReplyDeleteDear Tanika,
ReplyDeleteI love you for this ENTIRE post.
Ah, Tanika...we always knew you were a homicidal maniac. They always hide it best.
ReplyDeleteHaha. You're fantastic, Ms. Little! =)
