Information for Venues

Venue Managers

Thanks for being a venue manager with the Pittsburgh Fringe!  This is where we intend to keep you up to date on everything you need to know!

Date News:

So we're behind.  Still ahead of last year, but not by much.  Hopefully we can get most of the shows squared away by the 10th.  We need time to get the program together.
Dates for the Festival are April 2-5th (Thursday to Friday)
​
​January 2nd:
Fringe Registration opens, and venues can start booking.  

January 15th: Shows will be anxious to book by this date because they get a reduced registration payment.  They are allowed to book this year (hopefully we will cut this off in the future) without having a venue confirmed.  And they are allowed to get a refund if they can't find a venue by January 20th.

February 2nd: Registration Deadline to be in the Fringe Program

News:

We are still trying to get venues to sign up.  If you know of someone who would maybe also like to be a venue manager - let us know!
SCHEDULING SPREADSHEET: We've also set up a Google Spreadsheet for each venue to take a page to visually input their venue's schedule.  We can also help with this, as we need it or us too.  So if it is too complicated, no problem.  Just do it your own way, and let us know what shows you booked, and we'll make it for you.  If you want to see it the link is HERE.   (This is an edit link all venues are sharing, so only change things on your venue's page.  You can see different tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet.)

NOTE on Google Scheduling SPREADSHEET: The first page shows visually good times to book the shows.  The second is a sample copy from a venue last year.  Then we've made a copy of the first page for each venue to play around with however it works for them.

See the Applications!

Few ways to access the applications - the google ones are not live, and are not updating changes if an artist fixes something in the application (which we are allowing them to do).  The Airtable doesn't currently update live changes, but we are working with the software companies to make that happen, and we believe it should be doable.  They are all live in the fact that as soon as a new application is received they will update themselves.
​
1. Google Spreadsheet: HERE
2. Google Folder with PDFs of all the applications: HERE
3. Below is an airtable view right here.  You can also download this as a CSV to Excel if that is easier.   (Bottom left corner.)
  • TIP: If you click on the little arrows behind the number, you'll be able to see just that application expanded. (See in yellow circle below for how to find it - as it doesn't show up until you hover over it.) 
  • ​Also, there are various sorting categories and ways to work with the information.  Click on the boxes to see the whole title of the category.  Right below we've sorted them by Number of Performances required.  Spaces that can book three, should start with those.  (We have several venues who can only do 2 days, so we need help booking the shows needed 3 performances.  Also, it is more bookings with less rehearsals, and less artists to deal with.)  But if you only are doing Saturday or Sunday, you should start with those just needing two performances.

See the whole spreadsheet larger by clicking the bottom right arrows. (Much better than the sliders.)

Airtable View by Number of Performances preferred:

Airtable View by Company for Contact Information:

This is sorted alphabetically by Company Name with contact information for everyone.  But remember you can expend the view with the little arrow near the number and see the whole application.

Chart of Booking Status (If you have a confirmed show not on here or one that says you have them, but don't - - let us know!  This will save other venues time, and we can tell who to help.)

Have questions?  Ask us!  Or we can even meet you and walk you through everything in person!
