As I announced a while ago, we extended HATE MAIL at Williamston Theatre. It was the first time we’d been able to do that, and as happy as we were about it, it was a little worrisome as well.

Like most of the things we do with our young company, the extension was an experiment…and a risky one. Well, I’m pleased to announce that our experiment was officially a success! We sold more than enough tickets for the extension to pay for itself – in doing so, we added two more weeks of work for a handful of artists, 2 extra weeks of mission-statement-fulfilling performances, and 2 more weeks of folks coming into the building and enjoying being here!

It wasn’t a runaway success, mind you. It took until the matinee show Saturday to be able to say that we’d hit our mark, so it was show 8 of 10 before we’d done it. Still, that leaves us with two performances above and beyond. As much as I want to sell out every seat every night, I’ll take what we got as a nice result for our first time down this particular path!
