Over the last few nights we usher-captained for two very full shows at the Clark Center. On Saturday "Four Bitchin' Babes" performed - http://www.fourbitchinbabes.com/ - there was a pre-show party, gift bags to give out to the first 200 ladies to enter the doors - an almost sold out house, merchandising in the lobby - It was pandamonium for a while with conflicting instructions from the executive director versus the house manager about what rules to follow. Pretty stressful evening. The group has a huge following and their fans showed up and had a great time.
Last night we usher-captained for "In the Mood" - http://www.inthemoodlive.com/ - a big band group complete with dancers and singers singing and dancing to the music of the 30s and 40s. It was a completely sold out show but the show was a much easier show to captain. There were no mixed messages from various entities and even with the parking problems with competing events - basketball finals and the show vying for parking - the show went smoothly. It was an older audience and there were no issues with food in the theater, picture taking, seating in the aisles, gum chewing, feet on the seats and dangerous behavior. So much more relaxing and the group was excellent.
