ELEVATOR PITCHES
What’s an Elevator Pitch?
Imagine you have a production that you’ve put a lot of work, life and soul into. You love it.You know
others would to. You get into an elevator, maybe in a hotel at a convention. At the same time, in walks
a well-known editor. The doors close and you are alone. This is your chance - but you only have a short
time to get your work noticed ...
That’s the concept of Elevator Pitches. Provide us with a single sentence summarising your production and another explaining why we should pick it up. Follow this up with a preview and the
pitch is done - let the work sell itself.
If you would like to submit a production for this section, email:
