I think the critical mass of a school like UT is great to have. I think also your idea to get the community involved will help a lot too. It makes sense to bring it to the students.

First, take it to the students-- that likely means a day time program around lunch, or an evening program around dinner (if you have residence halls). Students need to literally bump into the show. At the University of Tennessee, we put the show along the path behind the University Center where a huge number of students pass between class. Second, utilize critical mass-- do the shows when there are the most bodies on campus. During the Summer that likely means during early orientation sessions and Parents' visitation days. Third, make it serve multiple purposes-- not just your typical campus show for the students. Appeal to visiting parents and incoming new students. Promote the show to the local community as an outreach event-- at Western Carolina University, the Summer Series actually started in the President's Office as a "gift" to the local community. Fourth, If the show is done in a location where the students already congregate, then on-campus promotion is far less important. If the program is also done for the local community, then promote it through PSAs and announcements in the local newspapers and advertisers. Hope this helps!

The students were so few and far between that the turnout was usually pretty low. I do like your idea of the free ice cream because it is hot. How did the universities advertise for their events? I think I will have to try it again and see what happens. I’ve tried to do a summer program but it never seemed to work.
