All For One's 'Successfully Package and Tour Your Solo Show' Workshop to Kick Off 5/28

After honing your show through performances in New York City and on the festival circuit, how do you take your work to the next level and tour your show in theaters and performance spaces nationwide? While local performances and festivals can be essential for refining your show and gathering awards and reviews, touring is often the best way to extend the life of your show and actually earn a profit for your work. In this four-week program, students will learn the key, road-tested approaches for creating a compelling marketing package and booking paid opportunities for performing their show

Instructor Gioia De Cari's solo show Truth Values: One Girl's Romp Through M.I.T.'s Male Math Maze has toured over 50 venues nationwide, including many sold-out performances at major venues such as the La Jolla Playhouse (400 seats), Scripps College Performing Arts Center (650 seats) and the Barclay (750 seats). Since winning the Overall Excellence Award for Best Solo Show at FringeNYC 2009, Truth Values has received nearly 100 performances and reached over 17,000 audience members nationally.

She'll be taking her life experience and expertise into the classroom for All For One. Upon completion of the course each student will have:

• An overview of options for touring
