CMA Hits the Juice!

Civic Music Association's own 1st Vice President was featured in this week's Juice. Click here to read the entire article. I would have to agree...We are definitely Des Moines best kept secret!

In other news, I have spent the last week printing our Season Tickets for the 85th Anniversary Season.

Here are some awesome numbers I would like to share:

New Subscribers: 51
Total Households with Subscriptions: 190 - UP from 164 last year!
Total Subscriptions sold: 340 - UP from 300 last year!

These numbers tell me a couple of different things. 1) People are excited about our programming for the 85th Anniversary Season. CHECK IT OUT 2) The increases made to our marketing budget have paid off. 3) People are spreading the word and we are becoming one of Des Moines best deals in arts entertainment.

Are you waiting until August 1 to buy a single ticket to a show? You might want to reconsider. Almost the entire center section of the main floor is sold out and the side sections are going fast. If you subscribe before single tickets go on sale, you can still snatch up some good seats. Not that Sheslow really has a BAD seat!
