I have always enjoyed the shows I've seen there, and although I seldom go anymore because I have trouble driving at night back to New Hampshire, I would like them to continue. I hope they use this experience to strengthen their efforts to reach people, and to realize that those of us who attend theater regularly, for maybe over 50 years aren't so easily fooled.<br /><br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-90602422710998172972010-01-13T20:34:31.408-05:002010-01-13T20:34:31.408-05:00Hi Rebecca,
Thank-you for the reply. I understand...Hi Rebecca,<br /><br />Thank-you for the reply. I understand that the person who called me might have been a little over eager. I know how much the Huntington values its relationship with Kenny Leon and its history of producing August Wilson's plays. <br /><br />Like I said, I've enjoyed everything I've seen at the Huntington. I'm not sure I'll be able to see All My Sons but I definitely will be back for another visit!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-21515783836163734972010-01-13T14:56:12.501-05:002010-01-13T14:56:12.501-05:00Esther, I'm sorry to hear about your experienc...Esther, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with one of our a member of our telesales department last evening. I can assure you that misinformation (in this case, the Huntington's relationship with the Broadway production of <i>Fences</i>) is NOT included in the scripts from which our callers work. I think, rather, you spoke with someone who was a bit over-enthusiastic. (We're <i>all</i> excited about Kenny Leon's upcoming project, particularly since he's stopping in Boston before the Broadway rehearsals begin to helm our production of <i>Stick Fly.</i>) I'm glad we learned of your experience. We're discussing it with the callers this evening. Thanks for your continued support of the Huntington. Hope to see you at <i>All My Sons.</i>Rebecca Curtiss, communications managerhttp://huntingingtontheatre.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-69545237757682407202010-01-13T08:22:48.645-05:002010-01-13T08:22:48.645-05:00I didn't.

Plus it was 7 o'clock at night and I'd just gotten home and I didn't feel like getting into an argument.<br /><br />I do wonder how many other theatre companies try stuff like this on unsuspecting patrons who don't follow things as closely as I do.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-9509363269217780302010-01-13T08:17:42.515-05:002010-01-13T08:17:42.515-05:00That's nearly unethical.
