Greetings,
I was wondering if you might be able to direct me to the Entertainment Director or head talent buyer for the Pocono Raceway Festival?
Our agency has several popular tribute shows routing through Pennsylvania and we would like to be able to send them our availabilities on various show opportunities for next year’s event.
I figured email would be much less intrusive than phone calls until there is a show they are particularly interested in.
Thanks for your assistance,
Chris

Chris – Thank you for your interest. The Sherman Theater is actually responsible for booking the talent for this as it is held away from our track property in downtown Stroudsburg. Please contact festivals@shermantheater.com.
