Twespians Fringe: TwespiansPR

Hosted by WhatsOnStage.com deputy editor Andrew Girvan, the latest Twespians Fringe event brings PRs and journalists together with a panel discussion on ‘Theatre PR: Are we doing all we can?’

PR has been changing as an industry at the same rate that Twitter changes trending topics recently. Is theatre PR keeping up with the moving industry? We'll be discussing the good side and bad side of current theatre PR, where we can move forward and where we need to trim the fat in an industry that Lyn Gardner refers to as 'criminally undervalued'. With a combination of questions from Andrew and the audience, we're hoping to blow the topic wide open with help from the panel of journalists and PRs.

The current panel lineup includes Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out’s Fringe Theatre editor and veteran recipient of the good, bad and ugly of theatre pitches; Honour Bayes, theatre editor for Fourth wall and a critic and blogger for Exeunt, WhatsOnStage.com, and her own site, Theatre Workbook; and Amber Massie-Blomfield, PR Director at Mobius Industries and battle scarred warrior on the front line of theatre PR. There will be booze and networking after the discussion, and you never know, we might even change something...
