Bay Area Typophile field trip to the theater: once more, with feeling

I couldn't get this thread going again, so I'm posting new. This is for "The Typographer's Dream" at Encore Theater Company. If you've been waiting for your chance for your profession/avocation to be honored on stage, this is it. (You already had your shot on television with "The Twilight Zone" -- ask Jared 'n' Joe about that one if you haven't seen it already.)

Anyway, my revised date for going to the show is this Friday, February 26. I have no idea how tickets are selling, but it's a good idea to reserve as early as possible.

Who's in?

Actually, Chesh, Friday is the 25th. :^)

Oops. I guess that shows that I pay more attention to what typeface the calendar is set in than I do to which numbers go with which days.

Yes, I meant Friday the 25th. Thanks, Miss Tiff!

The show has been getting some good press. It looks like they may be sold out for Friday. But they have extended the run through April 3 - plenty of opportunities remain for a mass outing if planned in advance.

Hmmm...well, I'm fairly available in March, with the exceptions (as of this writing) being Thu 3/3, Sat 3/12, and Thu 3/17 (I double-checked those on the calendar, Tiff). Right now everything else is fine, I'm pretty sure.

Thanks for checking it out, Tamye!

I recommend this production to type nerds and map geeks alike. I saw it a couple weeks ago and the writing is excellent, the characters are vivid, and the topic strays far from type, which is a reason to bring your long-suffering friends and family along. You won't be bored. You will probably laff. Looks like it's extended to April 3.

Hey - I'm a lurker here on typophile, but I'm also the Company Manager for Encore Theatre, and as thanks for the self-promotion of the show that's going on here, I'd like to offer typophiles the chance to see The Typographer's Dream at a discount group rate (10 people or more). It doesn't have to be all at one performance (i.e., 5 at a Saturday, 2 at a Sunday Matinee, 3 at a Sunday evening), but tickets would have to be paid in advance. So if enough of you would like to see it, email me at reynaldi@encoretheatrecompany.org, and let's make a deal!

Cool.
What are the chances you'll extend it again, another month or so?
Because I'm gonna be in SF May 1-3 and I'll love to catch it.

So -- are we doing this? I think Sarah and I are available next Friday, the 25th. We're not available at all the final weekend.
