At Stage 1, we are always looking for new and interesting ways to market and promote ourselves to an internet-obsessed generation of theatergoers. Ask anyone - The internet is the best marketing tool any Non-Profit organization can use to get your message and your vision out. You are able to reach and incredibly large and diverse group of people at the drop of a hat.
On our 08/09 Inaugural Season Page of the Stage 1 web-site, you may have noticed our 08/09 Season preview video. I just wanted to take a moment to recognize some very talented individuals who helped to make this video happen.
Stage1 Theatre Company Season Promotion from Amy K on Vimeo.
First off, you may recognize one of Richmond's finest actors, Jill Bari Steinberg, as our voice over artist. JB is perhaps best known for her stellar one-woman tour de force performances in The Syringa Tree and Shirley Valentine, but I will always remember her as Wendy in Peter Pan at Theatre IV back in '96. I thought she was the greatest, as I still do. When determining who the right person for the VO was, Jill Bari was the first person to pop into my head. She's been extremely supportive of Stage 1, and I couldn't be happier that she was willing to offer her talents for this project.
Now let me tell you a little bit about how this video idea came about. I had been thinking it would be really cool to show some type of "season preview" video at the Ragtime concert. I was planning on something very simple - Some music from the shows and the show posters - Something easily put together on iMovie. Then Amy Kaeberle approached me saying she would like to help put together a commercial for the theatre - I don't think she was planning on doing it the next week, but none the less - She jumped right in and did an incredible job designing and putting together the video that we are all quite proud of. Amy is a dancer and performer in town and has been seen on stage in Joseph... and Once Upon a Mattress at the Mill and CATS for SPARC. She is now at VCU and working on video editing - It looks like she's got a great career ahead of her.
Thank you so much to these very talented individuals for donating their time to make Stage 1 a leading theatrical force in the Richmond area. Take a look at the video if you haven't already and if you like what you see, consider purchasing an 08/09 Season Subscription to Stage 1 so you can be part of all the excitement.
Trust me, you won't want to miss a moment.
See you at Stage 1.
