Hey everyone! I'm a new poster but long time reader.I hope someone can help me out. I'm an editor for my college magazine, and I'm looking to get in contact with someone from the touring cast of Spring Awakening. The show is coming to Des Moines in January, and since our college is located like five minutes from the theater, and the magazine comes out in early December, I think it might be a great way for them to sell some tickets.

Does anyone know who I might contact regarding trying to talk to someone? Is there a press person? Is this kind of thing ever done?

I've seen the show twice, and loved it. I want others to be excited as well!

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the spring awakening myspace just put up a bulletin today asking for people in/around cities where the tour stops to join the street team. they're looking for people to spread word in the area.

what you want to do sounds exactly like what they're looking for.

here's a copy of what they put in the bulletin





NATIONAL STREET TEAM!
CALLING ALL GUILTY ONES!

We need everyone to help spread the word and excitement as we launch our National Tour! If you live in any of the cities/states we are hitting in the first year of our tour and would like to be part of our national street team, we need your help! Street Teamers must be over 15 or else accompanied by an adult.


Street Team activities may include handing out flyers and buttons, spreading the word via the internet, hanging posters, etc. You can do as little or as much as you'd like. In exchange, you may have the opportunity to earn merchandise, attend dress rehearsals, performances (subject to availability), and/or exclusive events with the cast.


Each theater will market the show in their own way--the work needed as well as the rewards given will differ from city to city. You might not be contacted until the show nears your city, and some cities may elect not to coordinate a street team at all.


If you would like to be involved with the show, please:

1.
Send an email from your primary email address to

[e-mail]

(If you are in San Diego, please send your email directly to: [e-mail])

2. Include your tour city in the subject heading (San Diego, LA, Boston, etc).

3. Include your full name, age, and the best phone number to reach you (we will not share your information with third parties).

4. Optional: Include any pertinent information you think we should know such as conflicts, relevant experience, if you're interested in helping a little or a lot, or what you would like to get out of it.


We are looking for volunteers in or near these cities: San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Tempe, Tampa, Houston, Des Moines, Minneapolis, St. Louis, East Lansing, Cleveland, Toronto, Providence. Pittsburgh, Louisville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, DC, Chicago.

I did the same thing for a paper last term, and while I got some response through social networking sites, I ultimately had to go through a press representative/liaison. I'd imagine that in this case, as it is to be published, you'd need to do the same. My liaison was at Rubenstein Communications, Inc. (www.rubenstein.com) Maybe if you start there they can lead you in the right direction.
