When our library or a church group is having a puppeteer, we can send out a press release with photo to those in the area and most will get printed. Also we will send in a calendar brief to a paper like the Boston Globe and those community papers in our area that just has the basics. I do this for the folk venue I run and for other groups. Many in our area do this, but need a good press kit to basically lift paragraphs and quotes from, since the PR for most volunteer organizations is done by overworked volunteers. Also good easily downloaded clear jpg photos are needed. Sending the organization a good poster (not too big) and a photo they can post on their bulletin boards. Collecting email addresses at shows is a great way to get fans to know you are coming to their area. Don't send to those in Seattle if you are appearing in NY, so group by location. liz in MA On May 22, 2008, at 2:48 AM, Michael Dowell wrote: I'd like to ask how people go about getting press, i.e. feature articles / interviews, etc. for their puppetry performances? My experience has been very hit-or-miss and I'm wondering what approach has been successful for others.
