Just your average week!
Ross Pratt, Manager of the Tivoli Theatre in Hamilton (formerly Manager of Lambton Cinema, Sarnia), decided it was time to expand a little on the daily complexities of a theatre manager’s life. The following is an excerpt from a *“‘Managers Weekly Report’’ recently submitted by Ross to District Manager Mike Micelli:
