The Charlebois Post, ltd. is very proud to announce the winners of the CharPR Prize for theatre public relations for 2013. However, before we get to that we must restate our profound thanks to all the publicists, photographers and PR departments across the country without whom we would have very little to share with our readers. Here's to a brilliant 2014. (In passing, if you would like to see our Picture of the Year, come back tomorrow!)
Best PR - Medium (multiple venues and mainstage of 400 seats+):
Arts Club Theatre (Vancouver)
Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (Winnipeg)
Segal Centre (Montreal)
Media outlets will tell you that not only is the Segal Centre's PR top of the line, but if one was going to give such an award, the most improved as well. While many other companies continue to deliver same old, same old (like the rules have not completely changed) the Segal has grabbed onto social networks (especially YouTube) with a vengeance and info and images are generous and well-disseminated. In the Montreal bilingual theatre landscape, they are quite unique for their grasp of how things are now done...and should be done.
