Orlando will have its very first local arts "Twitter Force," put on by Fairwainds Broadway Across America, for their 2010-11 season. The Twitter Force will be comprised of five locals who are both twitter users and arts enthusiasts who are chosen from those who apply here. Deadline is Friday, November 19, 2010. Those chosen will be announced Tuesday, November 23, 2010.
The Twitter Force members will be given two tickets to most shows in the upcoming 2010 – 2011 FAIRWINDS Broadway Across America – Orlando season, the shows include YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, ROCK OF AGES, WEST SIDE STORY, SHREK THE MUSICAL and HAIR. The Twitter Force will be asked to tweet their thoughts before the curtain, at intermission and of course following the show. Twitter Force members will also be given special access to the cast and creative team for every show with the opportunity to conduct cast interviews via twitter, tweet from backstage and attend the opening night cast party for every show.
I was a consultant on this super-fun project and highly encourage you to apply this year. It should be a ton of fun. I'll be right there with you at each show tweeting away!
