Artist Afternoon: Press Releases for Beginners
Wed. Feb. 2 | 3pm ET | Free

Online via Zoom

 

What goes into a press release? Can you write and send your own? How are they used for different things? These topics will be tackled at Peter Michael Marino's fun, interactive, idea-generating, 90-min press release workshop which aims to empower you to do your own press.

We'll discuss the basics, and together we'll investigate creating creative press releases, generating press-worthy ideas, and figuring out who your audience is. We'll discover and discuss effective ways to get the word out about your show, song, product, event, etc. Plus, you'll receive access to press release templates and press release/story pitch samples.

Free. Registration required.

Thank you to everyone who has been giving to EAG's Annual Giving Campaign over the past few months. So far, because of your donations, we have raised a total of $19,228! This is only $5,772 away from our $25K goal. The campaign runs until January 15th, 2022, and we know we can make it!!

If you'd like to help us help our city's performers with rent, utilities, and food, you can donate at actorsguild.org/make-a-donation. And don't forget to ask your employer if they match donations.

It looks like Broadway may have another couple of rough months ahead again, so your dollars are extremely impactful. Thank you for your help!

DIY with DEI

HOPE

by Chris Chinn

The word "Activist" has been on my mind. It is a word that has been thrown around a lot lately. I’ve always admired and respected Activists. I’ve always wanted--secretly--to become one. But I hold those deserving of the word and title in very high esteem. What does it take to be an Activist? What qualities and characteristics must one possess? I have found one trait that all Activists have in common: Hope. To try and make change when that change seems insurmountable--and even unreachable--it takes great courage…and Hope.

So, my HOPE for all of us this New Year is that we continue to listen to one another with an open heart & mind, learn from one another, and love one another…..and take all that we know to be good and right, and put it into ACTION in 2022!

We begin this New Year with 3 Activists who I admire- one, the greatest Activist of all! Here are the DEI Committee’s first s of 2022:


READ: The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. Happy Birthday month, Dr. King!


WATCH: We’re Here. A series that takes 3 drag queens to rural areas in America and transforms 3 of their community members' lives by transforming them into drag queens. This series was a true & amazing surprise! Try not crying and laughing through every episode!


LEARN: Ady Barkan. An inspiring Activist whose “disabilities” become non-existent compared to his abilities, courage, and strength.

If you would like further information on the DEI Committee, please contact Chair Chris Chinn at chrischinn2020@gmail.com.
