Every year the Edinburgh Festival Fringe attracts audiences into the millions and being part of that experience can easily boost a company's image.
By sponsoring a production, your company's name will be seen by those that attend the performance, those who pass through the festival, locals, those who receive marketing materials in which your brand name will be placed, and by those who are involved in the festival. By sponsoring a production, your company will be seen as an institution that promotes the local arts and cares about the community.
But you can't just sponsor any performance. You'll need to sponsor a show with a wide audience appeal, a show that's professional yet unique, and one that serves a good cause. This is why you should sponsor Alternate Endings produced by Naked on Stage .
Naked on Stage is a group of Postgraduate Creative Writers from the University of St Andrews. We chose the name Naked on Stage as metaphor for how it feels to be on stage performing our own work—and it's a catchy name that will draw a crowd. Those in Naked on Stage may be students today, but we're the Booker Prize winners of tomorrow.
Alternate Endings is our one-hour performance in which every night (for two weeks) two different original short stories are presented and a one-act play is performed. Following with the title Alternate Endings, every evening the audience will choose which ending of the play they want to see: dramatic, romantic, or controversial. The one with the most votes wins. Plus, different sets of exciting, original short stories are read.
By sponsoring Alternate Endings you are not only acting as a philanthropic source to a worthy student based organization, you will also be promoting your own business. Several key figures in the world of publishing and academia will be in attendance, thousands of festival goers will see your business branded with a top quality performance, and your company will be linked with this very successful event and with one of Europe's oldest and most prestigious Universities.
