What marketing strategies could Auckland Theatre Company employ to emphasise how it satisfies social, egoistic and self-actualisation needs?
To satisfy social needs, Auckland Theatre Company can encourage people to attend their performances in groups by offering group discounts or special bundle packages. For example, for a certain amount of tickets purchased they will be entitled a certain percentage discount of the total price. Subsequently, the company can offer bundle packages of buying 2 tickets and get the third ticket for free. These discounts and packages will differ according to the genre of performance and different festive periods. As explained by Helen Bartle that 'people often feel more comfortable going out during the day', Auckland Theatre Company can also offer weekend matinee performances with group discount. They can also offer family bundles whereby children below the age of 12 will be offer child ticket pricing all year round for the matinee shows on weekends and they will be able to watch for free during the Christmas holiday. This way, it can also encourage parents to take their children out to watch a performance which can also be a form of family bonding time/activity, especially for working parents who may have little time to spend with their family on weekdays. Auckland Theatre Company can also tie up with schools and come with special school bookings where the tickets will be of subsidised price for the student during school holidays. As attending a theatre performance can be as much about 'being seen' as seeing the performance, it is said that to be artistically aware and supportive is seen as a respectable and desirable attribute. (Schiffman 2011) Therefore, in order to meet the egoistic and self-actualisation needs, Auckland Theatre Company can come out with a loyalty membership. For example, a prestigious group of 'arts supporters' can subscribe to Auckland Theatre Company as a member for VIP benefits and also be able to get the first hand information of up-coming performance and be able to have priority booking before it is released to the public. Members will also be

    One Man Two Guvnors Review

    Many people would agree that the cast is what brings a show to life, this case is no different. The National Theatre of Great Britain put on a wonderful performance, the actors really connected with each other and the audience. A big part of this show is audience participation, or that’s what they want you to think... With members of…

    One Man Two Guvnors Drama Review Essay Example

    As soon as I entered the theatre, it was completely packed. I also saw many people from different age groups; this gave me a feeling that the show would be entertaining enough to get people from all ages to come and see the show. The environment of the theatre was very formal, as there was a red and gold layout and it was also very clean.…

    The Heiress Critique

    On the evening of March 23, 2006 my boyfriend and I made a visit to Brenham, Texas to see a play entitled "The Heiress." Playing the role of an audience member for the night, we dressed nicely (even though we were traveling to one of the smallest towns in Texas), went to a nice dinner at On the Border, and went to the show. We participated as an audience member in that we had to travel to the performance and were able to take part in the play from a visually entertaining side versus an actual performing side.…

    Boys Will Be Boys Play Analysis

    On March 3rd, I went to a play called Boys Will Be Boys in UNI’s Interpreters Theatre. I initially went because a friend of mine was in it and they asked me to attend. I was excited because i’ve only seen plays done by Theatre UNI, so it would be a nice change to see a smaller scale production. The theatre is located in Lang Hall. It was a very intimate theatre with little to no staging. The actors had to rely solely on a few props and their ability to act.…

    Quincy Public School Community Analysis

    A local theatre company pitched in to help repair our school’s stage, making it safe, functional and fun. Going to the symphony and performing on stage when I was young contributed to my passion for the performing arts. Last year, I performed in close to fifty choral, musical and theatrical events in my community and in Boston. I want to share my love of musical theatre with more students as well as the seniors in my community and am currently working with the director of the Boston Children’s Theatre and the principal of Quincy High School to ascertain whether it can be a satellite location for their summer studios. Bringing a well regarded performing arts program into the community will help more children acquire additional skills like creativity, confidence, problem solving, perseverance, focus, collaboration, and receiving constructive feedback. Seniors will be able to attend local theatre…

    High School Theatre Observation

    OPRF high school is brimming with diverse cliques, groups, and clubs. But one particular cohort seems to stand out from the rest. The theatre department, overseen by Michelle Bayer, can be described as a whirlwind of activity, with 10 official productions each year. My group researched it for the education unit, but the majority of them were unfamiliar with the activity, and I felt the overall presentation was unrepresentative of what high school theatre is. It can be characterized, primarily, by an abundance of drama, both in the acting sense, and in the social sense. Theatre kids are infamous for their diva-like attitudes, and occasional entitlement. I had the opportunity to observe these behaviors up close and personal with my shows I participated in this year.…

An abundant social network of loyal customers brings with it a strong market. As a result the Center, receives reduced artistic fees because of “volume” booking. The weakness for the center is that of those loyal customers, not all of them buy tickets in advance. Ticket sales are disappointingly low for the first performance, “Halo”.…

    college report example

    Many people believe that theatre is something that’s considered easy or a job that pays more than it should. But it’s so much more than that. It’s a passion that many people don’t recognize. It involves hundreds of skills some of which include great communication. Communication is definitely one of my strongest attributes because it’s essential for a successful working environment. I like to understand all aspects of theatre and the people that contribute to its various functions. Conversing with the plethora of people that contribute to a working show, will negate any challenges I may encounter along my theatrical journey. Adding to my strengths in addition to being a good communicator, I am also a motivator. I am willing to rise up to any challenges that may surface, keep everyone on task, and most importantly show everyone a way to enjoy what they do. For example, I was…

    Why I Chose Theatre

    From working with audio, lights, painting, carving, drilling, promotion and ushering; I have had a big taste of what happens to make the (magic) of seeing a live theater show. My favorite memory of working in the scene show was carving angels. I have assisted students with the Second City Dream Team. My favorite memory of being a Second City Dream Team member was when I realized that theatre in Chicago is an extremely supportive community. When the Second City had a fire many theatres assisted the second city with classrooms and stage space so all of the magic at the Second City can still happen despite the fire. One day with the Second City Dream Team, I was ushering for Twist Your Dickens. I felt so blessed to even be there passing out flyers and seeing so many happy audience members walk through the door. I wanted to see the show more than anything and I was told if there was an open seat that I would be able to come in to see the show. I was infatuated with the set and how much detail was put into making even the set…

    Analysis Of My High School Theatre Group

    When most people think of high school theatre students, most visualize a bunch of snobby, overdramatic, hormonal teenagers, constantly reciting lines from plays as if that was how they always spoke. Now while some theatre groups may be like that, my high school theatre group certainly was not like that at all. My theatre group better known as, Buena Park High School Theatre Production, was one of the most welcoming groups in my high school, which is what attracted so many students like me who had some mild interest in theatre. For many students, joining theatre production was similar to finding a new family, simply because of how incredibly diverse all the members were and how every member had the same drive and willingness to bond and help others. Personally, being able to surround myself with a diverse group of people who are open and share the same mindset is what makes my high school theatre group not only my family, but also a community.…

    Sankalp-the Theatre Society of Mica

    Dear Sir/Madam, It is with great pleasure that we introduce to you Sankalp, 2011-12, the student-run theatre initiative at MICA. Sankalp – MICA‟s annual theatre initiative - its main interface and cultural connect with its home city- Ahmedabad. Sankalp has always stood by the literal meaning of its name- a resolution. A resolution that through the medium of theatre, we will sensitise our society towards the burning social issues to which we have for long been indifferent to. A resolution, that each one of our audience leaves the theatre with a new perspective, inclined towards seeing the broader reason of their existence i.e. to make the world better place to live for everyone. A resolution, that we bring some positive difference in the lives of those in need. Sankalp, during its eleven years of existence, has maintained a firm belief in how theatre can be used to influence social change. This is evident in almost any activity it has initiated, from its annual feature plays at Natrani Theatre which are normally based on contemporary social issues to its street play event Rangmanch which brings to light key issues concerning the common man. This year, Sankalp takes the celebration of experimentation in theatre one step ahead with a full-fledged theatre festival on campus, which will run along with the three-day grand production at the Natrani Amphitheatre in Ahmedabad. We would be happy to build an association of mutual benefit with your organization, and share this connect with the city and its people, and the Indian student community at large. Warm Regards, Aditya & Mahesh Marketing, Sankalp 2011…
