About Plays On the Net (www.playsonthenet.com)

Founded in 2003 in England by playwright Chris Savery, CEO, POTN began as an online database for unpublished playwrights - a platform for writers to share their work, to communicate with fellow dramatists and to explore new ideas. Eventually, Chris Savery was able to transform the site into an e-commerce venture when the company secured the license to sell titles from the archives of BBC Audiobooks in April 2006.  Other leading names in publishing followed, including: Gardners Books, Harper Collins, Pan Macmillan, Random House Audio, Naxos Audiobooks, BBC Active, Little, Brown and Hodder Headline. The site has now developed into a significant online store and theatre information site, with thousands of original plays and audio books available for download. The site also offers CDs, DVDs, affordable theatre tickets, and even free downloads of classic plays, fiction and poetry.

 

About Anne’s World and Anne’s Diary (www.annesdiary.com)

 

Anne’s Diary, through a licensing agreement with Anne’s World, is the first secure social networking site for children: an interactive virtual world for young people, secured with cutting-edge biometric technology in the form of a personal fingerprint reader. Inspired by the stories of “Anne of Green Gables”, the secure area of the site offers a safe, fun and educational environment where children can keep a private online diary and photo gallery. In addition, members can chat with their peers from around the world in a protected chatroom and forum, safe in the knowledge that they are communicating only with verified members of the same age.  In conjunction with business partners Fujitsu, Novell and 123ID, Anne’s Diary is setting new standards in online safety whilst offering children a unique and exciting world in which to express their creativity and interact with other young people.

 

About Curtain Rising (www.curtainrising.com)

 

Curtainrising.com began as an online database for theatres. Organized by city, the concept was a user-friendly search engine which would enable theatregoers to locate productions, venues and information with ease. It has developed into an extensive worldwide directory of plays and theatres and a tight-knit community created by, and utilized by theatres, actors, producers and individuals with an interest in performing arts. Curtain Rising has now licensed the rights to its database and web site to Playsonthenet and the combination of the two companies is set to become the single resource centre for theatregoers, playwrights and adv-

vertisers.  The site features a popular theatre-oriented forum, ‘Playtalk,’ where theatre professionals and enthusiasts can connect and share ideas. This will be enhanced by ‘Stage Write,’ a personal blog page available to all members of POTN where actors and writers can post their bios, photographs and information in a social networking area geared specifically towards those working or interested in theatre. ‘Stage Write Professional’ will offer a similar service to theatre venues and companies, giving theatres a personalised forum on which to post their latest news, ticket sales, seating plans and more. Curtain Rising already has relationships with thousands of theatres worldwide, and through ‘SW Professional,’ we will add many more to our list. 

Curtain Rising is winning more visitors daily thanks to its unique weekly magazine – an online glossy including news, reviews and features about the world of theatre. Published weekly on the Curtain Rising and POTN websites, CR Magazine is fast developing a regular readership and as advertising demands grow, plans are in the works for a printed version to be distributed in theatres and entertainment stores.
