EXTRAS
Everything you see on stage during a performance needs to be planned and well thought out. It definitely goes for the performances from the actors, but it also goes towards the other, less obvious elements of a show. It's the Production Manager's, Stage Manage's and in our case, the Writer's job too, to make sure that everything is set for the performers and the director so everything runs smoothly.
BUILDING THE SET
No show is complete without a set and a location for the action. There were many discussions about what the set should look like for The Psychosocial Gathering but eventually everyone came to an agreement.
For every hour of rehearsals, we only have a few minutes of performance. It's up to the Director and the Writer to make sure that the cast know what they're doing, and that everyone is working towards the same goal.

Being on the mile is one of the best ways to promote your show. Every year, we try and come up with some sort of gimmick that will attract others to our show over others. This year, we came up with a new idea of using stickers. When we've got a passer-by's attention, we can ask them their name and invite them to the party using a sticker.
We used Discount Sticker Printing this year, who provide quick and reliable service. We ordered hundreds of stickers and they arrived, safe and sound, just as they were described. They were also waterproof too so that they could withstand the Edinburgh weather while at the Fringe. It's also nice that there was someone at the other end of the phone if there were any problems with the order.
We'd recommend them!
