Having worked in a few venues mainly front of house and over the Christmas periods, I know that many people no longer buy a programme, especially in regional venues they are seen as a book of adverts now for local companies with very little content about the actual show. I have seen boxes and boxes of stock left at the end of a run that either get given away, heavily discounted or recycled in January.

Hi Greg - Yes I am here, but will not be drawn into anything other than constructive commenting and will ignore any bitchy comments or comments designed to create arguments.
