Special performances at the MI "Pirates of Transylvania" convention in July 2007 will
need to consider the following. We are trying to be as flexible as we can within
the confines of our venue and running things smoothly. In order to accomplish
this we have developed the following guidelines. Please keep these in mind when
planning your special performance.
SCHEDULING
You should let us know as soon as possible if you are planning on performing an
original number at the convention. Note: Only original performances will be allowed. If
you've performed this specific piece before, please do not expect to perform it
at this convention. You do not have to have it all planned out yet...we would just like to
start getting an idea of who and how many. Short concept descriptions should be
mailed or emailed....with rough cut of music and time estimate if possible by
May 15th, 2007. This is what we will use to determine placement in the lineup.
Your FINAL recording on CD should be turned in AT registration...not at the show.
VENUE
Most special performances will be presented in the Queen Mary ballroom
as part of the Friday evening festivities. There will be a stage, and we will
notify you as soon as we settle on dimensions.
TIME LIMIT
10 minutes max (we are not counting seconds but keep it as close to 10 minutes as possible.)
THEME
Performance MUST have a clear connection to RHPS or ST or both. If you have questions
please email or call us.
PROPS
Any props you want, so long as you can set up in 1 minute, and break down in 1
minute (and that includes sweeping the stage, as necessary). No storing of props
allowed in the Ballroom. All props will need to be removed from the room following
each performance. Please be sure you recruit staff to set up, break down and move
the props back to someone's room immediately following your performance. Access
will be from the lobby through a double door.
