Mark G Auerbach Public Relations June Client Newsletter

June, 2020

Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends

To say we’re in challenging times is an understatement. I wrote about how my business changed overnight in a column for Succeeding in Small Business, called Postcard From The Pandemic: Learning How To Spin On a Dime. https://www.succeedinginsmallbusiness.com/postcard-from-the-pandemic-my-perspective-on-learning-how-to-spin-on-a-dime/#.XsKUXxNKhQI

All of our clients have faced challenges.

The Capitol Steps suspended all performances in Washington, DC and on tour in March, and no performances are likely to happen soon. You’ll find a new song or sketch on the Capitol Steps website, along with Politics Takes A Holiday public radio broadcasts available for download. The Capitol Steps YouTube channel has plenty of music and comedy videos. For updated performance schedules:  http://www.capsteps.com/live/

Gaslight Entertainment, which presents the Westfield Concerts, cancelled their season after their March performances. A Roomful of Blues, scheduled to perform on April 24, has been rescheduled to September 18. They will announce their 2020-21 season this summer. Co-founder Jay Pagluica is co-producing the new Studio 120 Sessions on WCPC15 and 89.5fm/WSKB. The series showcases local musicians. For details:: www.westfieldconcerts.com.
