Butterfly's Trouble Promo Video

What's needed for a Promo Video? I've been told by various Arts Management people that Presenters would like to see what they will be getting if they should book your show. That means that fancy camera angles are likely out, as are fancy just about anything.
But, wait a minute. In actuality the camera always lies in one way or another. So it's a tough call.
For instance, on seeing my static and somewhat blurry video of Butterfly's Trouble being performed at the 45th Street Theatre, Robert Baird of BAM! Baird Artists Management told me that Presenters might take the image of a small black box theater to mean that the show would work only in a small black box theater. From the video, these same Presenters might conclude that this was something suitable for only a high brow audience.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Please take a look at my new Butterfly's Trouble Promotional Video and tell me your conclusions. Where does the show belong, vis a vis theater and audience?

Thanks. Oh yes, below is a code that the Technorati website needs to recognize this blog so that people like me, trying to bang some sense and imagination into the dull and unimaginative heads (Robert Baird says it, Not me. :), bless his helpful hyde), can obtain some needed info.
