The Opening.

I’ve always had an idea of opening my show with Craig Morrow’s usual voice over of welcoming the audience to the show and informing them to turn of mobile phones. However, I wanted to write my own version of his usual opening. I chose this approach as Dr Morrow is the voice of Lincoln Performing Arts Centre, and as an audience member myself visiting the Lincoln Performing Art Centre, listening to his voice overs makes me listen and engage with the performance. I want to ensure the audience are listening as I am going to be talking directly to them for the next ten minutes and I feel this is the best way for the audience to engage with what is happening on stage.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Lincoln Performing Arts Centre.

Please can I remind you to turn off your mobile phones and that flash photography is not permitted.

The flash is very unflattering. If you do choice to to take a photo and upload it to Instagram, then please use the Valencia filter
