Rebecca Coleman All about production photos
This week, I am doing a series on getting great visual to accompany your marketing and PR for your show. On Monday, I talked about the importance of getting a really great publicity shot, and how to do that. Today, […]
The importance of a good publicity photo
If you are producing a play, you know you need them. Gone are the days of putting the word out about a photo call, and having a bunch of photographers and TV cameras show up to get a shot to […]
Stubmatic–a new online ticketing option
If you are independently producing theatre in Vancouver, your options for ticketing are limited. For those starting out, I’ve often seen producers get a dedicated phone line with voicemail. The outbound message gives info about the show, and people can […]
Ten seconds with David French
The summer I turned 13, my parents and I, and my older brother Stan, moved from the heart of Kitsilano, on the edge of UBC’s Endowment Lands, to Frenchman’s Cove, Newfoundland. Population: 200. I spent my formative teenage years growing […]
