We strongly recommend that you submit publicity photos and PR materials by SFF deadlines so we can send complete press packets to regional print and broadcast media. SFF coordinates press relations for the Festival as a whole, including interviews and critics' attendance at performances the critics have chosen to review. The Festival will also schedule opportunities for companies to participate in public Festival promotional events. Put as much time and imagination into your marketing as you do your production. The more you promote your own show, the larger your audiences and the more compensation returned to you.
Double casting is ill advised.
Due to the difficulty in scheduling, we ask that you do not hire an actor, stage manager, or crew member who is in someone else's show until after the Festival is scheduled. Then, if performance times do not overlap and there is no problem with technical rehearsals, double casting is acceptable. For the 2001 Festival, companies who wish to produce more that one show should be aware that the second application from one company will be waitlisted in order to maximize performance opportunities for all. If your company submits more than one application, please specify first and second choice for programming. Complete and submit an Entry Form with your chosen fee.
