Join us Saturday afternoon, April 18 for A Directors’ Q&A: From Page to Stage. The panelists will feature renowned directors, Bryan Blanks, Howard Gorman, Chip Joyce, Travis Olson and Mary Ellen Ulrich. Find out their thought process from submitting a show to raising the curtain on opening night. The discussion begins at 2:00 pm that day and will include a post-panel Q&A with the directors. You can ask them anything!

There is no admission fee; however, we would be grateful for any donations to help support our SHINE (Sherry Haschke Initiative for Nurturing Education) fund. More details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1474853607560159
