-The festival requires your help with promotion. In order to encourage a large festival audience, we will be doing a huge amount of promotional work. We ask that you do your part to get the word out as well. Please put a link from your site to ours! We’ll do the same for you.
-The Performer Updates page of our website (www.sftheaterfestival.org) is a great place to check every so often for new information as the festival draws near.
PROMOTION: Each performer and performance group must promote the festival directly to its constituency through mailing lists, websites, newsletters, emails, flyers, and also by distributing festival flyers and posters. We will be in contact to discuss the ways in which you can promote the festival.
VOLUNTEERS: All theater groups are asked to provide two volunteers during the festival. Provide us with their names and contact info (email or phone number) as soon as you have confirmed their participation.
TABLE SPACE: Your group is offered free table space for distribution of marketing literature. You are responsible for staffing your table from 11:00am to 5:00pm. You must RSVP regarding the table if you plan to use it.
AGREEMENT FORM: All performers and volunteers must sign a festival agreement concerning liability before participating in the festival. The agreement form is available online. These forms are required to be signed BEFORE your performance and/or participation in the festival.
ADDITIONAL HELP: The festival is also seeking additional stage hosts, set-up crew, and stage managers. These are volunteer positions. The festival is also seeking a small number of "ambiance performers" such as mimes, jugglers, etc. If you or someone you know would be interested in participating, please have him/her email producer[at]sftheaterfestival.org for further information.
We look forward to working with you all!
Thank you,
SF Theater Festival Staff
