LAST TANGO WITH MARLON preview this weekend!

Wow, bloggies, I can't believe how quickly the time has gone! We're gearing up for our big preview performance this Saturday night, 8 pm at Mt. Hollywood Theater in Los Feliz. It's a half-price performance (just $10) which is probably why there are only a few seats left (just over a dozen!) If you can't stand missing this great opportunity, call 323-667-9113 during business hours and make a reservation -- tickets for sale the day of the show only, cash only. There will also be six shows over the first three weekends in February ($20, including free street parking and refreshments!) For those of you who can't make it, we're expecting reviews from a few sources, so keep your eyes open! Heck, they'll probably be posted at the LAST TANGO WITH MARLON Yahoo! group and, after some time, at the REVIEWS page of the home site, Fletcher Rhoden.com. The actors are ready, I'm calm as can be expected. There's little more to do now but look back on a fairly snag-free pre-production and forward to what I'm sure will be a great run of a truly entertaining play. Beyond that, who knows?
One thing worth mentioning -- our second ad, featuring footage taken during a photo shoot earlier this month, has excited a lot of interest, popping up on sites all over the interne that I've never even heard of. I'll be taping the premiere, so look for clips to show up on Youtube, Metacafe, Yahoo Video and perhaps some of these other new sites that have inspired some folks to spread the good news about our play.
In related news, not quite as good, the novella of LAST TANGO WITH MARLON may not be ready for sale at the performances (certainly not for the preview) but in the interest of the book's excellence, I think it's fair to skip a marketing opportunity or two. I am including a coupon in the program, however, and interested parties can contact me directly and I will still honor the proposed bargain price of just $10 a book, autographed if requested (plus shipping.) The novella did turn out great thanks to the slight delay, so that's good news after all.
Thanks for your continued interest, and stay tuned as there is much excitement to come -- next blog, the PREVIEW REVIEW. See ya then!
