Is it A Play With a Website or a Website With A Play?

LOOK. IT HAS WINGS!
Writers, Programmers, Designers, Producers, Marketing Reps and fellow
Internet Enthusiasts, come join this innovative multileveled Theater &
Internet Web Site production.  PAY-FREE, but we promise one hell of a
flight!

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
This is a very stylized media-minded technology suave satire about
advertising and marketing. (Think The Truman Show, Brazil, Hudsucker Proxy,
AdBusters Magazine) This production is a play with a web site. Or is it a
web site with a play?

PLAY'S PREMISE
A young woman is guided through her life by the suggestions of a handheld
"electronic friend" she receives as a college graduation gift.  This "pal"
is motivated by profit margin and will use whatever methods necessary to
win her trust, control her buying habits and learn her insights, which will
ultimately be used to sell the very device to more unsuspecting consumers
with better effectiveness.  Behind this manipulative personalized data
research tool is a powerful corporation.  "Our aim is to make this device
appear so innocent and helpful that we can get 2 to 3 of them in every
home."  And of course this business has a web site.  That's where YOU come
in. . .

RECLAIM YOUR PASSION
Tired of designing and programming for corporate America?  Sick of writing
the same old drab copy or selling some useless product?   Maybe the dot.com
downsizing gave you a little extra time?  Put your experience, creativity
and humor where it will be truly appreciated.

We will be developing, launching and promoting this satirical
marketing/advertising website as if it's the real thing.  Come and join
like-minded hopeful cynics and help revolutionize the way theater is seen
and done in the technology age.

****If you are interested in any of the areas listed below in any way at
all, call or write now! ENTHUSIASM and INTEREST are the MOST VALUED
COMMODITIES.****

PRODUCER
Oversee the production of the Web Site and/or theater production. Organize
and keep the production on track and of course fun.

ART DIRECTOR
Responsible for helping design and develop the look and feel of the
company, both for stage and Internet.  Logo, letterhead, mailers etc. Full
branding.  (Somewhat stylized and over-the-top.)

COPY WRITERS
Help develop content and company voice.  From the history of the company to
fictitious advertisements and press releases, there's plenty of room for
all sorts of marketing and advertising satire.  Create and or produce your
own ads!

FLASH/WEB DESIGNER/ PROGRAMMER
Looking for passionate designer(s) who would like to create powerful
visuals that sell.  You know how effective good design can be, let's use
those same techniques to mirror and examine the real world.  If it works
for them, it can work for us.

SOUND DESIGNER/ENGINEER
Write and produce original music and pseudo radio advertisements for the
theater production and website.  Work closely with web designer and
director.

MARKETING
Help push, promote and engineer marketing angles for the website and play.
 From stickers to flyers, hats, banner ads, link trading etc., there's
plenty of room to get creative.  The goal is to give "this corporation" a
name and get traffic to the site.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
Contact press, both local and national, to gain attention for this
technology satire website and play.  There is plenty of room to help create
a fun and/or serious angle for various newspapers, magazines and radio
shows. Let's make some noise!

MISC. INTERNET.
Use the Internet to locate already created fictitious/mock ads.   From
radio voice-overs to well produced satire television commercials and print
ads., the goal is to collect as much quality content as possible and gain
an audience. (This will also give a backbone to the emerging play.)

MISC. THEATER
Any artists, musicians or interested parties from a theater background that
would like to contribute in some way are welcome.  It will take a short
while until the stage production begins, but please don't hesitate to let
us know your interests and how you would like to contribute.

LAWYERS ADVICE
Because we will be toying with the lines of reality and fiction, it will be
neccessary at some point to keep some things legal.  This is to both
protect our property and be "perceived" as a legitimate company by the
powers that be.

Great ideas can truly fly with the right team.  With your help, let's see
how far it will take us…

Please feel free to send this information along to any or all people you
think would enjoy being a part of this endeavor.  Thanks  :)
