Hi Tony, please accept my congratulations for this nomination! I am a big fan of the John W. Engeman Theater. If you are open to the audience's opinions, I would like to suggest that you implement selling tickets online, not by the phone or email. On the sales page you can also implement a virtual quiz that will ask the client for the choice of seats and other preferences, for example. You can see here how easily it can be done. I am sure it is very entertaining and will help to step aside from traditional competition in showbiz.
