mary mary saw so many more she'll talk about next next month i'm sure but it was great and like what a lot of those shows making it down to florida well that's fantastic and you talk about chorus line which is coming into our next season yes of course and so you know if everyone doesn't have a brochure yet we still you can sure is your best bet if we haven't gotten one in the mail you can call and will mail you one but the best bet is just to drive up to the box office any day just park and grab one and box office is there to serve you for subscriptions for broadway for classical and for dance  and our seasons are season subscriptions are going as strong as they were the last two years it's going to be another great year at the fan which that's great yeah and one of the some of the shows my talk about that's coming up next year is the first one is peter pan right the special peter pan i heard it's one i've family and we classic the wizard of laws which is great production it's a terrific production very very colorful you know if you've seen the movie you know what it's all about but it's nothing better than seeing it live with your kids if you have kids or grandkids you know i remember and that one i think is six and seven may sixth and seventh two performances i believe but don't be surprised if we had one because you know everyone says that you never miss grey's and again it's another family friendly show it's my gosh it's going to be fantastic i'm hoping maybe my granddaughter visit me at that time but i want to make sure she doesn't come in may because the show's actually march sixth and seventh i can't read my papers very well so my hair my fault so march sixth and seventh for most of that which is great yeah it's going to be a great show and i thought we had it's ok to be scare strength is not optional this is my mother my purpose real muscle is lifting her spirits between bedpans and bad news from doctors the doubt her strength strength is buried in bill's managing madson swallowing those moments how you feel if you're caring for a loved one there's an a a r p caregiving for care guides and community or call one eight seven seven three three three five eight five welcome back we are here at the ben way so i have our guest tonight is janet reno she's our group sales coordinator leader and many many house she wears here and wasteful so welcome janet thank you and how are you doing today i'm just doing just great excellent share with everyone what is the sales what is what's about group sales group sales is anyone out there who would look to come to a show and have ten or more people they will get a discount and be placed in seats and we started the first year about three years ago doing this and we had about fifty orders for sales and as of last year we did close to one hundred fifty sales so it has grown considerably and those are individual sales and many people of course still want instant success and they go to the box office and order their ten tickets so they go online and then they realize that they're paying extra fees and so forth and going through group sales you do save quite a bit of money and if no group could be just an individuals or could be an organization or anything like that organization homeowners associations just your group of friends i had just recently in order for twenty five tickets for our new show coming up motel and  able to put those through yet until after subscribers are done but the person called back and said the orders were going so great you know they're up to now one hundred twenty five so it's like it grows considerably on leader gets it out of there is that right it's spreads and for them to get a hold of you how do they get a hold of you does call my direct line three six three two zero two five very cool i like that memorized now i think you should know you've been here as well as the fine arts so wearing do it in conjunction with the fine arts society they have about sixty eight docents that are trained that will take people through and explain the fifty five pieces of art and sculpture that we have here the five pieces fifty five pieces and most people when they come to a show don't realise that all this art is here and they're all done by floridian artist and then the second hour of their tour is i bring in six docents and they do the backstage tour everything about the van ways so at the end of their tour people are tested they are asked why is it purple how did to get its name when did it start what was the first show here and they love themselves because they know so much and they all get a little favor or right now it's been three different gifts that they get at the end of the tour and those people this started out with just the public now it's schools colleges and different homeowners associations coming in the one day we do  group sales i'm skinny on backstage tours backstage tours are set up special on certain days when i can get people in here when there's no other show or a show loading in but the public tours are usually on the first tuesday of the month and that's throughout the entire year only october through may ok pentasa so it's very busy and for them to organize that just call the box office or do they call you so they will they call me to get a special tour on public tours they can just show up on that day on that  only requirement is that five dollars is collected toward this tour which the v a and ways will split with the fine art society so that's a fund raising arm for them and then the fine arts i understand will change the artwork around and this and that times they and organizations that will sponsor a show which will give them tickets to a show which will give them the ability to maybe meet and greet the artists that is performing and it's exciting because their name is on every ticket that's printed so if i were the sponsor of billy crystal on that ticket is the header saying sponsored by x y z and most firms and businesses like that so it's good it's on all seven hundred tickets wow fantastic and you can sponsor there's a certain packages depending on how large a sponsorship is of that but you can be a five thousand dollars sponsor a twenty five hundred dollars sponsor ten thousand dollars months or and so forth we have wild in here who is our major sponsor and they do all the broadway shows and so that is a coup de gras they are really the lead sponsor the lead presenting sponsor of all the broadway shows and then we have about seventy other shows that need to be sponsored oh so if a hotel comes in and sponsors we will take them and then maybe do half and half and they will do someone trade which they like so our stars will be able to stay at their hotels oh that's right so it's  it never ends and never jobs right each on your toes keeps me in some interest in being sponsor again they can just call you directly ask call directly we will gladly accept their phone calls for we like that but i really appreciate you being on the show with  hurricane season is upon us and city of syria so to residents are urged to have an
