Here at staffordshiretheatre.com <\/a>we much prefer to tell stories about great theatre going on in Staffordshire.<\/strong>\u00a0 So if you have a great story about something theatre related in Staffordshire, or news about a show that you are staging, or maybe even just a good story about yourself and what you do, then we’d love to share it with our many thousands of visitors and followers<\/strong> across our channels, including this website, and on our related social media.<\/p>\n We are especially interested in covering smaller theatre shows<\/strong>, and the work of local theatre makers and local theatre companies. professional and amateur.\u00a0 So if you are an established or emerging theatre company, writer, performer or involved in theatre in anyway in Staffordshire – then we are much more likely to cover a story about you, than one about a big mega musical.<\/p>\n Not that we don’t like big mega musicals – we certainly do – but we just want to give coverage to the the kinds of theatre in Staffordshire that often gets missed out by the main stream media, but which is so critical to the development of theatre and performing arts in our region.<\/p>\n What we really want are interesting stories about your show or project.<\/strong>\u00a0 It may even just be a story about yourself.\u00a0 We’d love to hear your story if you are an actor that’s just graduated say, or a writer working on a new play, or perhaps you’re a theatre designer or theatre maker and you want to raise your profile – then we’d love to help if we can.<\/p>\n What we don’t want<\/strong> to receive<\/strong> are just random, poor quality PDF posters, with little or no info.\u00a0 They are pretty useless to us, and we then have to do all the work to find out about your show.\u00a0 Remember we are NOT a listing website.<\/strong><\/p>\n To submit a story<\/a>, either send us a press release<\/a>, or use the form<\/a> which can accessed by clicking the big button<\/a> below.<\/strong><\/p>\n We welcome your detailed press releases, which can be emailed to stagedoor@staffordshiretheatre.com<\/a> Please include background, quotes, something unique, good quality pictures, and do include all the info that will entice our readers to want to know more, and perhaps even book a ticket or two!.\u00a0 Even better if you can also supply links to video or audio content.<\/p>\n The more original the article is that you send us, then the more likely we are to use it.\u00a0 There is no point in us just regurgitating the same info that is already on a dozen other websites.<\/p>\n To help sell your story we need good quality pictures too.\u00a0 We cannot use pictures that have logos or text embedded on them.\u00a0 We do not like to use show logos, posters or graphics either.<\/p>\n Have a look through the rest of our website to get an idea of what kind of photos to provide.\u00a0 Please provide the photographers credit information if this is relevant.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1458774858440{background-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”][vc_column
