This one is the side/service entrance to the Neptune Theatre in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I’m not sure if there was a specific reason for the self-promotion but it sure seemed like a very original and quite eye-catching way to get their point across about the importance of live theatre within the community:
As always, thanks for looking.

Clicking on my URL in the sharing spot for some reason takes you to a much earlier post that has nothing to do with this challenge, so here is my real URL: http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/11/06/thursday-doors-on-friday/
I think the problem was that my URL was longer than 50 spaces, so they shortened it, but I don’t know why that takes your to the other page. Next time I’ll know enough to shorten the title! I enjoyed this challenge…Judy

Fixed it. The link to the post may have been a few characters too long, but mostly it was in the wrong field: It was in the 1st instead of 2nd.

Norm–I had it in the second–I had no idea what was supposed to go in the first blank so left it empty. But, when I tried to send it, I got a message that I had to fill in all the blanks…so I put the URL in the first, as well. It must have erased it from the second blank. What is supposed to go in the first field?

The 1st field is for the name of the person or their blog.

Norm, the fact you took this photo makes me happy and proud to know you. This may have not been considered by some worthy to photograph. I like how you caught the details that are so clear. From those brightly painted words I am excited about the jobs this theater provides, the performances held behind these doors and the art of theater inside are very special to me. I was in Thespians, understudy, make up girl, scenery and my Senior year, “Student Director.”Thespisns 🙂

and just for good measure in case it doesn’t work here is the link again!

A lot of arts funding has been cut in Canada in the last decade despite economic studies that show the very large multiplier effects of arts activities (theatre, music, visual arts, dance, video…you name it.) So this is extra advertising for Neptune Theatre on what looks to be a stage or delivery door as well as a political statement . Long live local theatre!

Yeah no doubt the statement has political/economic implications, and it does it in an attention-grabbing way. And yes, long live local theatre 🙂
