Half social event.
Half networking.
Half shameless self-promotion.
Half not good with fractions!
Well, it's been a minute. Last meet & greet was May. I had all intentions of getting another one in around Fringe that just didn't happen, SO... let's get one in before the holidays to discuss/promote all the things upcoming.
Please bring theatre-related flyers, posters, and business cards to advertise & advocate your work. Find like-minded individuals. Make plans for future collaborations.
The Bills don't play until 4:00, so you have time to stop in and STILL catch the game!
Questions:
Is this just like before?
- Not exactly, it's going to be a little different. Nox is no longer available, and we are hoping to move the location around to help highlight some local businesses.
Can I help out?
- Yes, please! Community theatre is always better when there are more people involved. Please send me a message on FB if you want to work on planning and organizing.
Who are you?
- My name is Mike Tedone. I've lived in Rochester for about 25 years and have been in community theatre for about 8. I've worked with ETC, Aspie Works, etc. I'm currently a board member for Penfield players and a member of Polite Ink Comedy.
EVENT HISTORY:
Rochester Theatre Mix & Mingle events were held quarterly in Rochester, NY between 2017 and 2020.
Events paused in 2020 due to the coronavirus outbreak and discontinued fully when the creator (Lynn) moved out of state.
The idea for these social gatherings was inspired by the wonderful, last-minute turnout at Nox on the evening of Saturday, August 27th, 2016, as many of us in the Rochester theatre community rallied together to show Carl Girard our love & support as he fought for his life at Strong Hospital. Devastatingly, Carl passed away the following day. The community atmosphere created by those with appreciation for Carl’s theatre work and his personality stuck with many, and the Mix & Mingle events were a small way in which the folks could continue to celebrate the local theatre community.
