Rebecca Coleman: Marketing Maven

Filed under: , , , ,

Rebecca Coleman, (pictured here with Bronwen) one of our favourite local theatre publicists and arts bloggers, recently stopped in at the store. After a meeting with our own Carrie Ruscheinsky and Melanie Walden, who are producing Christopher Shinn’s Dying City in April at Little Mountain Studios, she dropped by to say “hello” and tell us what she has been working on lately.

“There’s so much great theatre going on in the city this winter and spring,” she said. “I’m really busy, and super excited about the quality of the stuff I’m working on. I see Jay Brazeau was just here—he’s directing Three Viewings at Presentation House, which stars Kevin McNulty (who recently did a show at the Firehall with Cat), Jillian Fargey and Suzanne Ristic. Also, a new company, Zee Zee Theatre, is doing a production of Halifax native Bryden MacDonald’s Whale Riding Weather with Allan Morgan at the PAL from Feb 12-22.”

“There’s lots more—the PuSH Festival, and pieces by Ruby Slippers and Touchstone later in the spring—go see some independent theatre!”

Rebecca’s also really into marketing theatre using online techniques like blogging (check out which groovy bookstore’s blog made it into one of her recent posts) and social media . You can read her most recent marketing ideas here.
