A rundown of best practices and alternatives for theatremarketing. Plus, Colorado theatre news, an interview with ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ sound designer Elisabeth Weidner and our Top 10 Colorado Headliners.
In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts ToniTresca and Alex Miller get in the weeds of social media and how theatres can use it (or not). Everyone may be hating on Facebook for its annoying-as-hell algorithms and it’s sketchy political stances these days, but it still has relevance. It’s important to diversify how theatres are reaching audiences, and the two give plenty of examples about how to reach beyond simple social posts to drive real engagement and authenticity.
Later in the episode is an interview Alex did with freelancesound designer Elisabeth Weidner, who talks about her standout work on the Denver Center Theatre Company production of Little Shop of Horrors and what it’s like to focusentirely on the audio component of a theatrical production.
