Before you publish your press release, it must be approved by HERE’s General Manager (gmdept@here.org) and Marketing Director (ariana@here.org).

HERE does not provide press services for our curated rentals. You are responsible for writing and mailing your show’s press releases, listing releases, critics’ letters, et cetera. HERE’s institutional press agency is Everyman Agency/John Wyszniewski. However, please note that HERE/Everyman Agency do not provide specific press representation for individual productions. You are welcome to contact John separately and make your own arrangements to hire Everyman Agency to rep your show. See Vendor Suggestions below, for a short list of press reps who have worked at HERE.

 

Information you MUST include in your press release – whether in electronic or print form, and all other print material:

  1. HERE Information listed as:

HERE

145 6th Ave. 

(Enter on Dominick, 1 block south of Spring)

For Tickets & Information: visit here.org 

  1. The full HERE Sentence somewhere on the first page of release as follows:
    1. For SubletSeries: This production is a part of SubletSeries@HERE: a curated rental program, which provides artists with subsidized space and equipment, as well as a technical liaison.

For Co-Ops: This production is a part of SubletSeries@HERE: Co-op, HERE’s curated fall rental program, which provides artists with subsidized space and equipment, as well as a technical liaison.

You are responsible for your own show programs. As of our 2018-19 season, we’ve gone green/fresh/economical by instituting online programs. All shows at HERE, including SubletSeries productions, should be have paperless show programs. 

In your digital program document, please leave one page for HERE, in lieu of the program shell that we used to provide. HERE will provide content for this single page, including our Institutional Funding Credits.

Please format your digital program with mobile devices in mind (don’t use columns of text, like you may find in print playbills). Digital programs will be accessible to audiences via your show page and pre-show email. There will also be a QR code and postcards in our lobby with instructions to access the digital program.

Digital programs are making their way into theatres, but are still not the norm. If you would like to hand something tangible to your audiences when they pick up their tickets, you may print a one-pager with producing and company credits. Please email marketingdept@here.org to get your one-pager approved prior to going to print.

As your production date gets closer, you can coordinate with our Marketing Director (ariana@here.org) to discuss your program needs, and to get your program linked to your show page.

As we nurture our growing artist community, we will send invitations to our list of past collaborators/artists for SubletSeries Dress Rehearsals. Our Production Department will confirm with you when your final dress rehearsal is scheduled, and whether or not you’d like to have an invited audience. If you would like an audience, Marketing will send to our list, and accept RSVPs from the first 30 responders. You and your team will be added to this list upon the completion of your SubletSeries production.
