A FAQ for directors about setting up 'events' for their shows on facebook
Contents
Why do I want an event on Facebook?
Facebook has become a proven way for a director and their cast to advertise a show to their friends and the 150+ members of the SLT facebook group.
How does it get created?
The most effective way to do this is to have the event created as part of our facebook group by an officer or admin of the group, who typically have an official role at the theatre or are IT-savvy.
Starting in 2009 we have set this up as a standard procedure for every show and will give you as much or as little help as you want.
But it's my show! Shouldn't I be inviting people to it?
It is your show, and if you would like to run the event-group that is totally up to you, we will just create it so it is part of the "South London Theatre" group and then hand the administration over to you, you can then ask us be involved as needed.
No, it's okay I have enough to do, but out of interest, what is the process?
- We see a show is up and coming
- We email the director
- We create the group
- We invite the director to be a member and when they join make them a member
- The director invites his cast to be members (or passes us the email list so we can do it)
- When it becomes available the poster is uploaded to the group
- An invite is sent out to the whole of the SLT Facebook group.
- Once someone is invited to the event they can in turn invite their friends, this can means your potential audience starts to grow, or at least has a convenient reminder of a show their friend is in that they should see!.
How do I get in contact with SLT's Facebook administrator?
