Dear Friends in the News Media,
Thank you for joining us today at this National Press Club Luncheon and Wolf Trap’s 2008 Summer Season Announcement. Our hope is to see you again this summer for the nearly 180 performances that will be presented at the Filene Center and the Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, and at The Barns at Wolf Trap, which houses the Wolf Trap Opera Company during the summer months.
Public Relations Team
Chris Guerre, Wolf Trap’s Director, Public Relations, and Graham Binder, Wolf Trap’s Manager, Public Relations, are both available today to answer any questions you may have regarding the upcoming summer season or the Foundation’s ongoing work. You can also reach Chris (chrisg@wolftrap.org; (703) 255-4096) or Graham (grahamb@wolftrap.org; (703) 255-1917) by phone or email and, as always, you may also reach me directly at lisal@wolftrap.org or (703) 255-1997, if I can be of assistance.
Online Newsroom, Blogs, and Internet Radio
Our new website features a Newsroom that we update regularly with the latest press releases, publicity photos, and news clips. Wolf Trap’s Newsroom is located at www.wolftrap.org/Home/Media_and_Newsroom.aspx and no password is needed. Also linked in Wolf Trap’s Newsroom, Graham blogs at www.wolftrapinsider.blogspot.com to bring you, and our patrons, candid information about recent and upcoming performances, updates to our performance schedule, commentary on arts and music industry news, and live posts from summer performances. Also be sure to visit Kim Witman’s blog at www.wolftrapopera.blogspot.com to get a behind the scenes look into the world of the Wolf Trap Opera Company.
And be sure to tune-in to our Internet radio station, which broadcasts full-length, CD quality tracks by artists appearing at Wolf Trap, interviews, and special programming 24 hours a day at http://www.wolftrap.org/_res/audioplayer/index.html?poc=1 or via iTunes radio. We will also be publishing podcasts and streaming video throughout the summer. Be sure to check the Newsroom for updates.
High–resolution, downloadable, digital publicity photos of Wolf Trap performers and Wolf Trap’s venues are also available in the Newsroom section of our website. These photos are for standard publicity use by members of the news media and may only be used in connection with 2008 performances at Wolf Trap.
News Media Coverage and Ticket Requests
While we strive to accommodate all requests for news coverage of our performances and programs, we cannot guarantee ticket availability. In order to accommodate the large number of requests for tickets, coverage, photography, and/or interviews we receive throughout the summer, we require that all requests be emailed to Chris or Graham. Each request will be addressed on an individual basis with final confirmation needed in writing from Chris or Graham. If you have questions regarding press tickets, interviews, or photo policies, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your continued interest in everything we do!
