2009 SF Fringe Festival Publicity Questionnaire

As a way to build publicity for your show, and for the San Francisco Fringe Festival as a whole, we encourage all participants to fill out the following questionnaire, then hit SUBMIT at the bottom. Part I asks for basic info about your company and your show. Part II allows you the chance to go into more depth about your work - the better to help us publicize your show. Feel free to be as expansive and detailed as you wish. We'll use this information in press releases, long-lead stories, web sites, and in the ubiquitous SF Fringe newsletter, The Daily Starr. Please return your completed questionnaire by June 16, 2009. Sooner, if possible. Remember, the Early Bird gets the Ink! Gary Carr, Fringe Publicist carrpool@pacbell.net
