Promoting the Penguin Club

Recruiting more Penguins is important as we support an ever-increasing number of shows. We ask that as a minimum our advert is carried in the programmes of shows we help. If you think members of your company or audience might want to know more about us we would encourage you to run the “Who are the crew?” poster backstage and/or the front-of-house poster.

Programme advert

You can download the logo and text here. The advert should end up looking something like this:

Next time you come to a show would you like to be behind the scenes? The Penguin Club provides backstage help from set construction to stage management for shows in the Cambridge area and is always on the look out for new volunteers – previous experience is not required! If you’re interested in knowing more, get in touch with us at clubcontact@penguinclub.org.uk and find more info at penguinclub.org.uk Facebook: Penguin Club or twitter: @TheatrePenguins

Who are the crew? poster

A straw poll of a number of cast members over recent shows has indicated that they don’t all know that the crew are volunteers. In the spirit of both letting them know this and a little self promotion, there is now a simple A4 poster that explains this. It’s available to download here, and could go up when we work at a venue, somewhere everyone has to walk past, for example next to the sign in sheet. Obviously not all the crew positions are filled by Club members, and the download contains two subtly different posters differing in their indication of how much of the crew is filled by Club members

Front of house advert

We have a large poster advertising the Penguin Club that can be printed large (up to A1) and has been designed to be displayed front of house.  If you have the opportunity to display posters to the audience we would appreciate you having one of ours visible to help promote the club and attract new members.  An A1 pre-printed version is available to use in the ADC Theatre.  If you’re elsewhere, you’ll need to organsie printing of the poster – various outlets can do this, including the ADC, for limited cost.  The file is quite large, but we can happily e-mail it to you on request.

    – 4:00 pm
    Intro to Tech at the ADC
    ADC Theatre

    Website link: http://penguinclub.org.uk/node/6144

    We are running an Intro to Tech session at the ADC, Sunday 23rd March, 1-4pm.
     
    If you are (relatively) new to tech at the ADC this would be the perfect opportunity to learn before the next season of shows begins (there are 5 get-ins in April!)
    We will cover some key the useful skills for get ins, as well as going into more detail on some areas. Exactly what will be covered will depend on attendance, but there will be some mixture of set, lighting and sound to choose from.
     
    If you are planning on attending please fill out this form so we have an idea of who to expect. If there are specific things you would like covered please put them in the form and we’ll do our best to accommodate. If you have any other questions/comments then drop me an email.

    If you’ve not been to the ADC before and need directions/access info please let me know.
     
     
    Best wishes,
     
    Alice
     
     
    P.S. If you are an experienced penguin and fancy helping run this, please let me know!
