Publicity Design


Publicity Design Assignment 6A:  Cast/Crew List and Bios

  • Cast List:  Type your your ideal cast list for your play (this can include actors you currently work with, Hollywood Stars, or famous Broadway Actors.  You must, however, include at least one famous professional in the field (dead or alive is acceptable).  Money is no object, assume an unlimited budget.  Include ALL actors you need for your play.
​
  • Crew List: Similar to your cast list, type a production crew list for your play.  You must include at least the following positions (certainly include more if you would like):
           Director, Costume Designer, Scenic Designer, Lighting Designer, Stage Manager
    Like before, you may cast this from people you know, but you must include at least one famous designer or technician to include. 


  • Biography Research:   Choose one famous 'featured performer' you plan to include in your cast, and one famous 'featured designer' who will be on your crew list, to research and type up a short biography on each of them.  No minimum length for the biography, but it should cover the important highlights of their career. 



*NOTE*  You may only include yourself in either of these lists once.  For example, if you cast yourself acting in it, you cannot also be director and set designer.

Publicity Assignment 6B: Poster Design 

Poster Design:  Create a poster for your production, including:
  • Name of the company producing the show (name your own theatre company)
  • Play title and playwright
  • Production dates, times, and venue
  • Ticket prices, and how can tickets be purchased?
  • Rights/Royalties Information (this can usually be found on the first couple of pages of the script)

Publicity Assignment 6C: Playbill Design 
Digitally create a playbill for your production.  This should be a physical playbill that you can print out (once folded/stapled, it should read in the correct order for an audience).  Your Playbill should include:
  • Cover page with cover art
  • Show Dates/Times
  • Play title, playwright name
  • Rights/royalties information (this can usually be found on first couple of pages of the script)
  • Cast list
  • Production crew and designer list
  • At least a paragraph as a 'producer's note' (this note is to the audience, why did you choose to produce/direct this show, why is it important to you, what do you want the audience to take away from it?)
  • Special Thanks (people who helped you pull together show, anyone who donated money, etc)
  • Include anything else you think necessary for the playbill

  • Printed Copy of Program and Poster (poster not needed spring 2025)

  2. ​Create a post highlighting your 'featured performer' in the show.
  3. Create a post highlighting your 'featured designer' in the show.​
  4. Create at least 5 other posts to publicize/advertise your show (these can include work from other areas of the project, such as costume/scenic design, storyboard images as rehearsals, pictures of cast members, etc)
  5. Create at least 3 videos/reels to publicize/advertise your show
  6. Create at least 3 sharable social media images/posters to publicize/advertise your show (Canva can be a great resource for creating these images).
  7. Create a QR code that can easily be scanned from someone's phone that will link directly to your IG page.  This is how you will share your final product for in class scoring.
