Get booked! Get Press! Let producers know who you are and learn how to utilize all social media tools as well as writing the press releases that will get you noticed. This class is taught by two of the bay area’s most popular burlesque producers, DOTTIE LUX and JUICY D LIGHT so you can be sure you are getting the inside scoop. With your new tips and tools you will appear not only gracious, but also professional. The things you will learn in this class will make performing such a more pleasant experience for yourself, the stage manager, stage kitten and producer. Following these guidelines will help ensure you being asked back by producers and recommended by your peers. Please bring a notebook and any questions you may have on this topic.
