Subject: Also, if I can't make a theater venue happen, I won't do it. Thinking of 2 days of competition, 1 optional outing day before, probably not prelims and finals the first time - venues are just too expensive for that. But keep the ideas coming.

[> [> Subject: 2 days is fabulous. You don't need a theater the first year, if you get a glam hotel ballroom. It's all in the presentation and marketing. 2 days is a dream. It's about the class and the quality, not the quantity.

[> [> [> Subject: OP here, thanks for the info. Around here, glam hotels cost more than some theaters or community spaces with stages.
