This play badly needs better publicity. This article, at least, finally explains what the signs around town are about, but it’s pretty late.
I’ve seen the posters around town while driving, but had no idea that it’s a play at the Grange. I’ve simply been puzzling over what THE VELOCITY OF AUTUMN is and who Eric Coble is. Maybe if I had been walking, I could have read the small text.
I knew that Melinda was going to be starring in a two person play directed by Robert Hall, and had been wondering when it was going to happen because I didn’t want to miss it.
Could you please do better sign postings that say something like, “Melinda Milligan and Travis King in Play at the Grange. Oct. 25-27, Nov. 1-3, 7:30 pm.
