So it is a lot of word of mouth. The cast has been pushing it as hard as we can via social media.

Our hope is that people will hear about this past weekend's shows and send their friends to see it this weekend or next. We did get a standing ovation on Sunday, and a number of positive posts on social media (from people other than cast members). There's around 110 tickets sold for Friday and Saturday. Looks like about 40 for Sunday (Mother's day). The theater seats in the ballpark of 200 people. So it's respectable - but we're used to selling out..
