MB. Welcome to PSP.TV . I'm your host Michael. Today we will be interviewing our very own director, Cameron. Cameron.

 

CL. Yeah, well, my name is Cameron. Thank you for having me on the show.

 

MB. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Ow old are you? What grade are you in?

 

CL. I'm seventeen. I go to St Dunstan's and I decided on writing a pantomime in December, somI started writing it. I talked to Protea and ja, here we are.

 

MB. Tell us about your role in the production.

 

CL. Well, I'm the director, so, make sure that everyone's here. Put everything together. Ja, stuff like that.

 

MB. And what kind of skills are necessary for a person in your position?

 

CL. Ja, patience - a lot of patience.

 

MB. Tell us about the kind of training you had to go through for this role.

 

CL. Well, I've been with Protea since 2005, so I've picked up a couple of things along the way, and I think it is a lot of trial and error.

 

MB. And what was your first job in theatre?

 

CL. Was a chorus members I said in 2005 in Oliver.

 

MB. D why do you thing theatre is important?

 

CL. Think theatre is important because a lot of focus is on the sport and stuff like that nothing gets done about the other people in the world. You know, the cultural people. And what will we do without watching TV every evening when you get home going to watch that movie at the cinemas. Ja.

 

MB. D what is the greatest challenge for theatre today?

 

CL. I think to get guys to come and act.

 

MB. Amen. Amen. And would you like to pursue a professional career in theatre?

Since kicking off our SMM campaign, we picked up considerably on Facebook followers, email subscribers, twitter followers and got some youtube subscribers. The youtube numbers seem to be a bit low, but with about 25 video views on the first day, and over 50 views within two weeks, I suppose most folks feel that they get notifications of new videos through twitter and Facebook. Not exactly viral yet, but it is not bad for the first two weeks!

A major part of the SMM campaign will be the interviews with cast and crew to keep interesting content flowing, so please subscribe to the links above to make sure you are the first to know.

The success of the campaign will be eventually in the attendance numbers for the show, so please book your diaries for October 18th to November 2nd.

Over and above being songwriter, musical coordinator and marketing assistant, your honourable blog host will also be featured as guitarist in the pits!

Protea Stage kicked off its SMM campaign

As I promised you, Protea Stage kicked off its Social Media Marketing campaign this week and to make this work, I am going to ask all my readers to help us making it a success.

It took us a while to open all the accounts and figure out all the passwords for the accounts that were open, but, the three main pillars of our campaign is ready to roll:

Youtube

Yes, everybody needs a youtube account and we got it. Soon we will fill it with lots of exciting content, but for a start, you can watch our video of Cameron (the script writer and director) having fun with the crew singing the sing-along song he co-wrote with me.

Please watch our video. Share the video. AND please subscribe to our channel.

We promise to add some exciting content in the next few weeks, including interviews with our cast and crew.

 

Twitter

By following us on our twitter account at @ProteaStage you can make sure that you are the first to hear the news.
