Be Engaging
Our new website is going to be awesome! The site has been designed as a fun and interesting marketing tool for Chicago theatre. It has been designed so that visitors can interact in a number of ways and so that they will move around the site and become interested in new theatres and new shows.
That’s why we made it possible for you to load so much on the theatre landing pages and the show landing pages. Both pages will accommodate video and photos, you can link to your twitter feed, your youtube channel, your flickr feed, post reviews, etc. But, here’s the thing, it takes about 10 minutes to load all that onto each page and you have to do it. I wish we could do it for you, but we can’t. If all you have up on your theatre landing page is a description of your theatre or your mission, that is boring and no one is going to click on the link to your website to see what you might be about. Visitors will be clicking through looking at theatres, looking at shows, the pages should be as engaging as possible.
A couple of suggestions: answer the “backstage with” questions on the theatre landing page, it gives you an opportunity to say clever and witty things about your company. Make a video about your company and post it on the theatre landing page, it doesn’t have to be anything super fancy, just something that says something about you. It’s fun.
We will follow the launch of the site with a marketing campaign driving traffic to the site so please take advantage of all the bells and whistles.
You should have received an email from us with specific instructions, if you did not receive such an email, please email ben@chicagoplays.com or laura@chicagoplays.com.

The Countdown Begins
The office has been buzzing this week as we’ve opened up the new website to members to begin adding their company and show content. It’s been an exciting and anxious last couple of days. Many hours of work have gone into the planning, development and testing to get the new site to where it is; so it was thrilling for us to let member theatres take ownership. We’re only a couple weeks from launching the site publicly now, so we’re asking that everyone begin updating their company and show information ASAP. (If you don’t, we’re going to keep bugging you until you do!) Every company should have been emailed a unique username and password from a League staff member yesterday. If you’re unsure if your company received one please contact ben@chicagoplays.com or laura@chicagoplays.com for your login info. We want to make sure that when we launch the site every member company’s page looks great. The clock is ticking!

Dramatists will be invited to meet theatre representatives and to speak with them about their work. No submission of scripts will be accepted at the Meet and Greet. The event will be held at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington Street.
The Dramatists Guild of America was established over eighty years ago, and is the only professional association that advances the interests of playwrights, composers, lyricists and librettists for the living stage. The Guild has over 6,000 members nationwide. This event will be co-hosted by Deb Clapp (Executive Director of the League) and Douglas Post (Chicago Regional Rep for the Dramatists Guild).
