Vernonites can fill the seats at this live performance venue, sort of.
Borrowing a page from the sports world, the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre (VDPAC) is inviting residents and businesses to take a seat with its Audience Cut-Outs promotion.
含羞草研究社淚含羞草研究社檓 a huge baseball fan,含羞草研究社 VDPAC含羞草研究社檚 executive director Jim Harding said. 含羞草研究社淚 saw what the Blue Jays and other pro sports teams did last summer and thought: why couldn含羞草研究社檛 we do that?含羞草研究社
Centre staff looked at the idea last fall but the promotion was put on hold as COVID-19 regulations continued to change rapidly.
Harding said the with the province含羞草研究社檚 four-step Restart Plan, full stage shows and concerts could return by late-fall, so it was the right time to revisit this idea. At least until full-capacity shows can make a comeback.
Now, patrons of VDPAC can get their life-size, full-colour photo 含羞草研究社 from the waist up 含羞草研究社 printed on a coroplast cutout seated right in the theatre.
Sponsors can also have their logo added as another visual show of community support.
These cutouts also have a practical function, VDPAC said. As venues remain at half-capacity, cutouts will be used to keep the real audience members appropriately socially distanced.
含羞草研究社淲e took a photo from our stage of our sample cut-outs seated in the house, 含羞草研究社 says Harding. 含羞草研究社淭hey look real, so for performers, with a successful campaign, artists won含羞草研究社檛 have to face a half-empty house when they perform, which is also a great show of support for them as well.含羞草研究社
