Reposting this in hopes fans like yourself can help me!  I would REALLY like more Broadway ACTORS to complete the "Survey for Actors"!  So if you know any PLEASE share it!  Tweet it, instagram it...email it, facebook it....Right now I have 8 actors who responded and 66 fans.

Seasons Greeting,

I have been developing a program in regards to the stage door experience. I created 2 brief surveys in order to provide my audience with honest feedback from both fans and actors. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would take a moment to complete the survey that applies to you and share it! The more feedback I receive the more accurate the information I will be sharing.

Survey For Fans: http://bit.ly/2jF2DL8

Survey For Actors: http://bit.ly/2AUfPze

Thanks a million!

What's the difference between an "actor" and an "ensemble member"?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I'm thrilled when actors take the time to sign and talk to people at the stage door which as we all know, they don't have to do. Do we really need to impose on them further by asking them to complete surveys about it? They come out the stage door and they either sign or they don't. What about this requires a "program"?

Why is there so much bullying and negativity on this board?  I was trying to create something nice and instead receive so much hate and negativity.

I think you meant "principal" not "actor". Making a delineation between "actors" and "ensemble members" can be perceived as insulting. Best of luck with your survey!

No one is bullying you.  Bullying involves power.

 

As to the negativity, it likely wouldn't happen if you didn't make so darn many threads about this, instead of simply bumbing the others you've started. Some of us took issue with your title -- which is (as has been pointed out) a bit demeaning to "ensemble members".   That and the fact that your links aren't even clikable.

I'm sorry that you don't have b'way performers to reach out to - but maybe:

1.  This isn't a forum too many of them frequent - after all, it's not FOR them.

2.  Maybe they aren't interested in your survey.

3. How would you even know if anyone filling out EITHER survey is legit?   In other words: nothing stopping ANY of us to take your performer survey.

I tried to take your survey when you first posted it: but it assumed that anyone taking the survey did indeed stagedoor. I don't.   So about 99% of your survey had no answers to me.  

I'm sure your initial intent was well meaning: but sometimes you have to accept failure.

^ That about sums it up.

Those who constantly throw out the term bullying any time anyone says anything negative to them should be forcibly made to listen to people who've ACTUALLY experienced bullying so they understand how it inappropriate it is to overuse that term.

I oftentimes ask myself this question. However, I don't really see any bullying here. Just people pointing out something problematic. Correcting =/= bullying.
