"Summer Stalkers" Cabaret Series at 54 Below
"Summer Stalkers" Cabaret Series at 54 Below
These posters advertised a One-Night-Only cabaret at 54 Below, retelling the story of Wicked Part 1 using songs that don't appear in the show. The idea was to cast a wide net of relevant iconography and striking imagery, thereby inviting more traffic and word of mouth.
*Captioned "4 vibes. 4 posters. 1 Night only."
*Reaching 2,000 accounts and 30 reposts in the 8 days between posting and the show.
(Look closely at the articles on the shizYOU poster for a special treat)
The Dead Ringers Theatre Company is a fictional theatre company that has just announced its inaugural season. I designed these posters using geometry and iconography in the foreground. The 3 musicals were correctly guessed by several commenters, with the 2021 Martyna Majok play Sanctuary City eluding most. This series and final design recap can be found on my TikTok @glen.chitty!
DEAD RINGERS SEASON 2
For the second season at the Dead Ringers Theatre Company, I wanted to challenge myself to make a series of posters designed specifically for the app where I see the bulk of show announcement posts: Instagram. My 2 structures this season were 1) semi-interactive posts and 2) captions that fit the show. Each of the posts you see below requires a person to swipe from slide 1 to slide 2. You can see these posts @glen.chitty2 on Instagram for the most optimal viewing experience.
These next posters were part of a challenge I set for myself to play with potential marketing photos and incorporate them into a show's vibe//brand strategy. The show that features these "cast announcement" graphics is Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party.
A Poster Design For If We Really Were Witches"
This poster was used for the Frigid NYC Days of the Dead Fringe Festival. 2 sold-out performances are a hot start on this road to Edinburgh! Visit their website and check out their show.
"Working with Glen is a delight. He’s so thoughtful and creative when it comes to finding a way to market a show. He listened to everything I had to say and came up with some great ideas. I’m really happy with what he designed for “If We Really Were Witches.” Highly recommend!"
