PREPARE THE PERFECT PITCH

An AWESOME pitch session may look like:

• 5 minute introduction

• 5 minute show sample

  • Scene, songs, photos, handout, slideshow, presentation, video, something hand drawn... showcase yourself and your piece!

• 10 minutes for questions

Adjust this template any way you want! Just make sure leave ample time for questions and conversation with us.

Who should you invite? We encourage you to invite the playwright, director, readers for a script selection, dramaturg, designers, or whoever else you think will make a good impression. If your playwright or director cannot be present at the scheduled pitch session or misses it for any reason, we will make a separate meeting time to catch up with them.

Annex Company members are guaranteed a pitch session. Others will be scheduled based on our interest and availability.

How do I prepare?

We will ask you in your proposal, Why Annex? One of the biggest "mistakes" that people make in a pitch is to say that their show will be simple to produce or that the complete team is assembled for the project. Since we are always looking for opportunities to be creative, explore big spectacle, and push boundaries, we love it when a pitch includes room to grow and evolve. Annex Theatre Company members crave opportunities to get involved and push ideas to the limits. 

We dedicate our time as volunteers so that you can focus on making the Art.
