For the first time in 26 years RMDT had a sold out performance of their annual Nutcracker Production. Sunday, December 10 at 2:00pm all 870 seats in Wynona Thompson Auditorium were sold. "The past 4 years we have been so close," said Jennifer Kaelberer Marketing & Public Relations Director for RMDT, "and this year we did it!"
For several years now RMDT has encouraged purchasing tickets in advance online and not just for possible sell outs and limited seats remaining at the door. Purchasing tickets for all RMSA/RMDT shows is actually more expensive at the door due to box office/service fees and its become an unnecessary hassle. RMDT hasn't had paper tickets since 2019 as with smart phones and internet easily accessible to the 99% of the population it has just become the way of the world to do things online and digitally. "We've been telling people for years to save time and money by purchasing tickets in advance online", commented Jennifer, "the same exact information is needed whether they go online and fill out for themselves or we do it for them at the door. If they need assistance or have issues purchasing online, individuals can call our studio to purchase over the phone." The time it takes individuals to stand in line to purchase at the box office door creates unnecessary tension for all which the staff wants to avoid on this magical weekend.
Another thing people do not realize is by the time its the weekend of the performances, the remaining seats are very limited which makes it hard to sit groups together or even couples and individuals wanting to get seats closer up is impossible. Keeping the weekend enjoyable and magical is the goal!
Here's to a great 26th Annual year and looking forward to RMDT's 27th!
