PRESS INFO The San Francisco Fringe Festival will publicize the overall festival but performers should agressively publicize your show, while noting that it is part of the 2008 San Francisco Fringe Festival. To help we have included a Press Release Template as a pdf document and as a word document. Also here is an email list of Local Theatre Writers. You can contact the Fringe publicist, Gary Carr, with questions or to pitch an angle on your show that you think might be effective by emailing him at carrpool@pacbell.net. Another good resource is Sources of Publicity which you can buy from Theatre Bay Area, a local service organization. Help us promote your Fringe show by filling out the Fringe Publcity Form and submiting it As Soon As Possible. Publicity Early and Often is Best !!!

Fringe Wait List 2008 Lottery Results & Wait List. This is the list of the Standard Venue performers who were selected at the Fringe lottery along with the Wait List. If a performer withdraws we will go to the next performer on the Wait List for that category (Local, National, International) and offer them that performance slot. There is no way to predict how many performers will withdraw. If they withdraw before May 11, 2008 then 50% of their performance fee will be returned. Performers sometimes withdraw even after this deadline. It is difficult to add performers after the Fringe Program goes to the printer which is in early August since they will miss out on this important Fringe promotional tool.
