BPP Kaputt (6): All theatre awards and collective marketing discontinued

Not a cent more goes to the annual theatre awards and all other collective marketing activities, such as the performing arts congress, also go to 0 euros or very little. Says one chairman to another director, who is also chairman, and is actually the same. Because that's how it goes at the Association of Theatre and Concert Hall Directors: the Foundation for the Promotion of Theatre and Concert Tours, governed by board members of the Association of theatre and concert hall directors, says to the board of the Association of Theatre and Concert Hall Managements that surely the money is now totally and completely exhausted. So exhausted, in fact, that even the Association of Free Theatre Producers no more putting money into that promotion, and that gala, and those awards.

After the devolution of the performing arts promotion agency yet another nail in the theatre sector's coffin.

Then surely there is a lot gone wrong, recently, there in Amsterdam's Funenpark. Then it just might be that people who had a theatre voucher are much more fanatical about redeeming them than people who get a book voucher. And then it could well be that they have counted themselves far and away too rich, over there at those theatre boards. If they counted at all. Let's keep an eye on the role of the bankruptcy judge, next time.

If you still have a theatre voucher lying around: redeem it quickly, before it's too late.
