…you’ve got one more chance to throw us your elevator pitch. This coming Tuesday, September 2 we’ll be holding the out-of-towners video listing session. If you’re a local company and would like to take advantage of this free listing opportunity, please feel free to head on down. Out-of-town companies will be given priority in the line-up, but we’ll definitely get yours shot.
Here’s what you need to do: show up anytime between 1-4 pm on Tuesday the 2nd to the Fringe Volunteer Centre: 1620 Durenleau St, Granville Island. (Please note that this is a location change from the one previously announced.) Have a good idea of what the essential selling point of your show is, but don’t over-rehearse anything. We want the charm of you to come shining out of the computer at us. These are not trailers! You can do them as yourself or as your character, but whatever you do you’ll be communicating the awesomeness of your play directly to your potential audience. We want to know why we should make time out of our busy schedules to experience your work.
That’s it! Check the top of the sidebar over there on the right for all the shows that shot their listings this week for some great examples of what we’re shooting for. This is a quick and easy process, but there may be some short wait times depending on when people show up. It’s first come, first serve, and out-of-town companies get priority this time around.
Email me at vanstage(at)gmail(dot)com with any questions or concerns. Can’t wait to see your pitches…
