Introducing America Theatre Production: Experience Dramas & Comedies, Tony Award winning Musicals in New York City and Local Community Theatre Productions. Questions you may want to promote or answers you may want to ask your potential club members. What are your interests, from Back Stage to Box Office , Ticket sales and everything in between, if you have an interest, we’ll help you find the answers, and experience Theatre live. I noticed that you mentioned Film which is not performed Live and much more difficult to arrange. It would be easier if you worked with Live Productions, as Film or TV is a process that can take days, weeks, and months to complete HOW OFTEN WILL YOU MEET to discuss what Theatre shows is available to attend. Once or twice a week Binghamton University Theatre – Once or twice a week may be ok to start or may want to meet once via a google hangout and once in person. You may find that arranging to meet at a specific time the most difficult task in organizing a group. Make sure you have enough Foundation members that each has a responsibility and can handle either contacting or arranging an aspect of the meeting to keep them running in an efficient and timely manner. https://www.binghamton.edu/theatre/productions/upcoming-productions.html Broome County Arts Council: Link to local community theatre groups http://www.broomearts.org/members-directory/performing-arts/theatre-production/ The Broadway League Link to NYC https://www.broadwayleague.com/home/ WHERE WILL YOU MEET: best place to hold meetings? Perhaps meet in one of the stage or performance spaces? Attend a rehearsal on campus? WHAT TYPE OF SHOWS? Choose a season of shows to attend? Research what shows are being shown on campus. Shown in the local community. Travel possibly to NYC? Arrange for them to be spread out over the year. Get group pricing so that it is affordable. Shows will not be mandatory, but reservations would be required. Types of shows: Western Opera, Beijing Opera, Broadway shows, Kunqu Opera, Chinese and American Musicals and Dumb shows… Watching Broadway show is the best recommendation for people to attend. On campus shows: THE LIAR An 17th century French comedy in modern verse SMART PEOPLE A gripping, contemporary campus drama about race, class and gender politics among scholars on the eve of the 2008 election of President Obama. THE WORLD GOES 'ROUND A musical revue featuring songs of Kander and Ebb CASTLE ON THE HILL A new play inspired by patients at the Binghamton State Hospital Gathering people from China to NYC for watching broadway shows. Arranging everything for them. ( tickets, hotels, translation,meals, etc..) There are certain protocols that need to be followed when arranging meeting with shows and producers or for tours backstage, however, that can be arranged through the Broadway Theatre Office in Times Square. I would be happy to assist the Group with contact information when and if the Group desires to do so. They can also arrange special ticket packages for discounted prices. WILL YOU DO ACTIVITIES PRIOR, AFTER. What could be arranged as an extra activity prior to the show? On campus? Meeting with the director, actors, or after? Opening night party? In community, rehearsal, pre-fixe dinner, after show dessert & drinks, In NYC, backstage, possible trip to Broadway Offices and tour. Many Restaurants in NYC and locally have Pre-Fix menus that they offer prior to or after shows at reduced prices. If reserved ahead of time with options already ordered, may be able to get a better price. Do activities prior for advertising and after for supporting Guiding them to visit the backstage of every show which helps them deeply remember and understand the operation of the show WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES OF THEATRE HERE TO CHINA- what theatre is offered in China and is it much different than here. Possibly partake in some of the specialty classes offered here. Combat, face painting (Opera) Culture is the product of the society. Way of thinking, Thoughts, Values and Lifestyle are difference from western and eastern. May want to offer a class and discuss what Theatre is like is China to Theatre Students here in Binghamton Most Chinese operas are based on traditional culture, like happy ending, and don't pay attention to the development of story plot, mainly for entertainment. While western drama is a metaphor for social criticism. ON CAMPUS ACTIVITIES YOU CAN ARRANGE: Visit costume shop, scene shop, marketing HOW WILL YOU CHOSE? Will members vote on a group of plays? Pop quiz and visit several theater memorials , POSSIBLE BUS TRIP TO MANHATTAN? Find out costs on arranging such a trip? It is going to take you about 35 bucks for greyhound ticket to Manhattan. And if our group is less than 7 people probably we can go there by taking the taxi, which is going to cost 300 dollars maximum in total.And if we want to rent cars, it is probably going to have the lowest cost in all the ways. Each car can take like 5 people includes the driver and it only cost like 50 dollars plus insurance per day. VISIT TO LIVE BROADWAY OFFICE What opportunities are available to TALK with PROFESSIONALS PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS: What types of promotional materials would you use to promote the club? Examples? Posters + leaflets + our own way of advertising. WILL YOU PROMOTE IT PRIOR TO STUDENTS COMING TO STUDY? Is it possible to promote the club prior to students arriving through schools in China, or would they have to be contacted once they arrived here. It’s up to the situation. We can held a entertaining meeting for advertising our club. We will promote and post our club’s information and activities in China before they arrive, since it’s hard for Chinese people to get some information through American websites. So we need to translate our club’s promotion into Chinese as well. It’s necessary to know their thoughts and suggestions before they arrive. Would it be interesting to include or expand to other universities as well? ARRANGE DISCOUNTS OR POSSIBLE ARRANGE PRICING AS A GROUP PRICE? Invite other universities to our club would be better and more diversified. We could get more ideas from other universities. About the price, We can find some small sponsors for helping and supporting. The group ticket would be the best choice for us. For everybody, it’s Cost-effective.
