Reader Feedback
DramaBiz conducted a recent editorial survey asking our readers their opinions to make sure we stay the theatre magazine read “cover-to-cover!” Here are some of the un-aided comments we received as part of their responses to the survey:

"DramaBiz Magazine has single-handedly given me more useful ideas than all other magazines I get combined!"

"Thank you for your wonderful publication. I am always copying things and passing them onto our TD, SM or Marketing. DramaBiz is a great resource to me and my production team!"

"Your magazine is so full of useful information! I'll bet DramaBiz has helped keep the doors open for many theaters!"

"Thanks for the many articles on box office systems and lighting. They were informative and useful without all that sales hype. I believe what I read in your magazine."

"I really appreciate the comparison studies that you provide. It really helped me convince the board on what we needed to purchase and who to use."

"I chose to go with [name withheld] after I read your article and saw their ad. They weren't as expensive as I thought! Thanks for the head's up."

“I love your magazine! We actually fight over who gets to read it first. I finally sprung for 2 more subscriptions so my copy doesn’t disappear. Keep up the outstanding job!”
