Seussical Cast, Parents and Production Team
We are pleased with the way Seussical is coming together. Thanks to all of you that sold cast tickets. We have sold 1376 tickets. We still have 2754 tickets left to sell so even though your family and friends can no longer get the cast discount, there are still plenty of good seats for them.
Since we cannot add attachments to this blog I have sent each of you an email that contains the documents referenced in this post. Here’s info about Bios , Break A Leg ads and business Program Ads.
BIOS
Our programs include bios for each actor/actress. In order to be fair to the entire cast we have very specific guidelines regarding the format for cast bios. Samples are attached for your reference. The guidelines follow:
Bios can be no more than 4 lines long. The maximum number of characters is 389 with spaces. Most bios will contain between 60 to 65 words. The bios must fit exactly as they are shown in the attachments. The page is exactly 5 inches wide and the font is Arial size 8. The actor's name is in bold and their character's name follows in ( ). The names of previous shows should always be in italics. We will edit any bio that exceeds the 4 lines guideline.
Due to the large number of actors in this cast all bios must be emailed to Cheryl Mills, HFAC Administrative Assistant, by Friday, February 10, 2012. Her email address is cheryl.mills@houstonfac.com. You don’t have to wait until February 10 to email this info to Cheryl. We have received 28 bios so we still need 31 more.
Break-a-Leg Ads
Our programs include space for break-a-leg ads for parents, grandparents, family, and friends who want to give a word of encouragement to their actor/actress. Break-a-leg ads cost $5 per line in the program. A line can be no more than 97 characters with spaces. Most break-a-leg ads will contain between 14 to 18 words. The ads must fit exactly as they are shown in the attachments. The page is exactly 5 inches wide and the font is Arial size 8. The actor's name is in bold and their character's name follows in ( ).
For Seussical we also have options for ¼ page, ½ page, and full page break-a-leg ads. Pricing and ad format information is included in the Seussical Playbill Break-A-Leg attachment. The attached Willy Wonka program contains numerous larger size break-a-leg ads examples.
Due to the large number of actors in this cast all break-a-leg ads and contracts must be emailed to Cheryl Mills, HFAC Administrative Assistant, by Monday, February 13, 2012. Her email address is cheryl.mills@houstonfac.com. You don’t have to wait until February 13 to email this info to Cheryl.
Program Ad Sales
Houston Family Arts Center produces a professional playbill for our shows. We sell ad space in our playbills to help cover the cost of printing the programs. If you have a business, or you work for a company that you think may want to advertise in our program, please review the attached HFAC Advertising Contract. Please complete the contract and email it or bring it by our office by Wednesday, February 15, 2012 with your ad copy and payment info. Ads need to be camera ready. We prefer .jpeg or .pdf format. We can also scan business cards. For an additional charge of $50 we can design an ad for you. A sample copy of our program is attached for you to share with your company’s advertising decision makers. I am available to talk to the marketing or advertising manager at your place of business.
Thanks for your support.
