THIS MESSAGE IS PARTICULARLY,but NOT exclusively, for THEATRE COMPANIES. It affects everyone who has been involved in a Drammy-eligible show this past season (you may need to nag, prod, and encourage, to make sure your work gets the exposure it deserves!).

In preparation for what will surely be an exciting 2014 Drammy Ceremony (nominees! artslandia! Isaac Lamb!), we are going to need your help in obtaining numerous photos so as to celebrate:

(1) the year’s work,  and

(2) the specific nominees.  

As you must realize, there will not be a ton of time, particularly for the second request!

PLEASE be as proactive as possible and prepare as much as you can in advance.  In order to make this whole thing the success we expect, we need to obtain materials in an efficient manner and on time.
