Show Visual Stories

Visual stories are a guide for your show, that allows audience members to get a sense of what the experience is like before they arrive. Visual stories are often paired with relaxed performances, but it’s fine to offer a visual story without a relaxed element of your show.

Below is an example of a visual story, with a template you have access to.

Venue Visual Guide

Unconventional Venues are strongly encouraged to provide a Visual Guide for their venues. Below is an example of what is used for the lottery Fringe venues, and a template is available for you to use.
