Subject: [Puptcrit] Attracting people to festivals


I attended my first festival at MIT by being asked to attend the first=20
Puppets: Ed Magic.  Since then I was hooked, returning to Ed Magic
yearly,   joining the Boston Guild and trying to get to as many
regional and national festivals.  There are some other Ed Magic alum
also part of our Guild and attending festivals.    So by moving the
festival around,  you should try to add Puppets: ed magic  strand to
all festivals  (bit different than the am education workshops) and you=20
could possibly get 30-50 more local attendees who also then will bring=20
puppetry to students and recommend puppeteers to be hired in their
schools.     This has been suggested a few times.   You can advertise
in the local papers, teacher bulletins, colleges, etc.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever predicted I would be a
proud card carrying P of A member... not a dramatist nor artist.   but =20
Ed Magic got me into your crazy world...    very happily....tho my
house would be somewhat neater if I hadn't been.
