Chapter 12: Tough to Make Money, Troubles Abound
The community theater group Brandt was part of was the professional team led by Hawk with exceptional expertise.
Upon arriving, Hawk confirmed once more, “As long as there’s sponsorship, the group can gather nearly a hundred people to participate, right?”
Brandt kicked at the snow piled by the roadside and replied, “It’s winter now, and the community has a lot of idle folks. If you were offered free food and drinks at a party, would you refuse? Trust me, they’ll bring their whole families.”
Motivated by the chance to win over his dream girl, Brandt was all in. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet the group leader, Larson. He’s the most influential person in the theater.”
Ten minutes later, Hawk found himself in the living room of a wooden house, face-to-face with Larson, the group leader.
Larson, nearly fifty but still full of energy, asked directly after hearing Brandt’s explanation, “Outsider, are you planning to sponsor us? I don’t get it. Are you doing charity work?”
Hawk chose his words carefully. “I have a director friend who made an independent film. It’s screening the day after tomorrow at the Great Salt Lake Theater. He’s worried there won’t be enough audience members, so he asked me to find some. Since I’m friends with Brandt, he mentioned your gatherings.”
Larson eyed Hawk with a sly grin. “I bet you stand to gain quite a bit.”
