Hi,
I know this may seem like an odd question/request, but I was wondering if anyone here could steer me in the right direction for contact information regarding the possibility of purchasing backstage passes for a show. This may be a shot in the dark and I'm not even sure this is something companies do at all, but I have to ask.
I have to ask because a group of us former students/teachers and community members are trying to make the dream of an amazing drama teacher come true. First let me give you some background. My former teacher, Kevin, or what we all called him Mr.B, started a drama program in our school 25 years ago from scratch. Originally the class would perform plays in the restaurant of a local hotel to fewer then 50 patrons. However, through Mr.B's dedication the program grew significantly and now the productions stretch three days and bring in over 300 people a night to watch at our community hall. In a small town of 1200 people this is nothing short of incredible. Drama and the performing arts in our town have become a permanent staple thanks to Mr. B's effort. Over the years he has put on 52 productions which include Annie, The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. He was done an amazing thing for performing arts in our town and now upon his retirement we want to give something back to him.
We are holding a dedication night for Mr.B at his last production. Former students and community members have donated to send him to broadway to take in a few nights of shows, but we really want to do more. We want to make his dream of being behind stage during a professional production come true. For years he had always talked a length about this wish and we thought we would see if we could make this a possibility. If you have any information you can send me even if its a simple no they don't do that we would appreciate it.
Thanks, Graham
