Registrations are coming in for Shakespeare is Boffo! March Break summer camp. It's just so great to see we're getting a response as I truly believe in this idea and am glad to see it (slowly) getting off the ground.
Marketing on a shoestring is always difficult -- you gotta love theatre -- but for the early campaign on the Spring camp, we are relying heavily on word of mouth and any interest generated from the first summer camp. We are lucky enough to have a few coming back from that camp (which is great!) and cannot wait to see the group currently building for the new one.
Of course, the next few weeks will be doing the artwork, getting posters up, putting flyers out all over the city, getting our new movie up on the website and investigating methods of streamlining our registration process. And next year, or even this summer... Maybe we will be able to afford ads in the summer camp magazines or maybe we'll be able to do a postal walk or two. That might save a little bit of work. :)
But all worth it. The camp is so much fun to do and I look forward to seeing the children enjoying themselves, wacking each other with soft swords, and on the way, gaining an appreciation of Shakespeare...and theatre besides. Fun.
