After such a success, the obvious question was how Drayton planned to match its own ac- complishments. No one , was prepared for Drayton's encore. The Drayton Festival Theatre has just announced yet another sold out season. A sell-out, not during the last week of performances, or mid- season, or even after opening night - but with only one week before the. curtain is scheduled to go up. Drayton's fourth smash season had 36,000 seats available. That's an additional 2,000 , seats over last year's sell-out and, with a waiting list of over 1,500 patrons, 1994 accomplishments have surpassed everyone's expectations. Yet another credit to add to their list of achievements, the Festival's first off-season production, a new Canadian musical entitled JAM- BOREE!, was also .a sell-out. Presented earlier this spring, JAM- BOREE! extended its run to facilitate demand for tickets. All 6,000 were snapped up even before the show opened. The Drayton Festival Theatre is still trying to recoup from the overwhelming response of ticket buyers. In a six-week period this spring, the Festival was selling close to 800 tickets a day. the Fes- tival's. Artistic Director, Alex Mus- takas, commented, "We had three telephone lines going constantly. Some people who couldn't get through on the phone faxed their ticket orders." This success has prompted a reassessment of several components of the Drayton Festival Theatre's direction. Every attempt is currently being made to fulfill the wishes of. patrons, hundreds and hundreds of whom are on waiting lists for tick- ets. Alex Mustakas, in pondering the future direction of the Festival, questions: "Do we extend the runs of our shows?" Drayton's popularity is largely due to the patronage of its guests and preparations are underway to ensure they have another summer of music and laughter. Those attending this season will enjoy Swing! a • salute to the Big Bands of. the 30s and 40s.
