I'm not really a fan of typography, it turns out, lol.

I kind of like this, but some of the thigns are hard to read.

I'm just now trying to learn proper typography myself, so I just might be talking out my ass right now.

The "December" is really hard to read. I had to look at it a little longer to make sure I was reading it right. I think if you could add more Kern (Spacing, my boss says its called Kern, so I believe him) to it might make it more legible, but that will most likely disrupt the flow of the cursive writing, so you will probably have to choose a new font.
I'm liking the top text and how it is drop-shadowed(?) its self, but it doesn't work so well for the bottom text. it makes me feel like I have blurred vision. I think you should match the top font more.

Also something interesting I have learned lately. Take some of your important words, and increase the size of the first letter of those words. it really helps make them stand out for some reason

holy shit, I am learning something from Mr. Mort

Shitty example attached.

I really hope this production goes well. and I hope you get your flyer chosen to advertise the play.

It was, actually :) It was on big posters all around school and printed onto t-shirts as well; I got one :3
Looking back, I don't really like the results, but it was still an interesting learning experience. It seems that typography isn't really my thing, haha, but maybe I'll try again and see where it goes.

Meanwhile, this may or may not be a WIP for a collab :x
