I also love Mandy's idea. And the new tagline is to the point and catchy. Well done the stage that builds. I think these are amazing. I also love Mandy’s idea.

Have you thought about "screening" in a ring in the background, one half on each poster, so that when you put the two together you get the full ring? Each poster would still look really dynamic on its own, and the half ring can hint that you need to see the entire work to get the full effect (hence putting it together with the other poster). Might be fun. Also, I highly recommend M13 Graphics for printing. They're cheap (especially if you allow them to put their website in tiny type on your piece), but do a great job. We use them at SC ALL the time. m13graphics.com I really like these.

It's dynamic. Maybe we can find someone to print them for cheap if we include a website or something on them. Let me know if you need any assistance getting prices. JAMES. I love the look.

Most importantly, it shows two versions of the poster side by side. A green, earthy one featuring the creatures that inhabit the world of the play as well as the fiery one with evil actions. Search for the post if you can't find it in the sidebar under "recent posts." It's called "Two Posters, Side by Side" There's also a good collection of responses to this first poster on our facebook page. There’s a new post with some alterations.
