Happy Friday Melinda! I got my BFA in Musical Theatre from Shenandoah University in Winchester, VA (about an hour from Washington, DC) and it was exactly what I needed...A highly focused conservatory training program that was outside of a major city! ~brian ------------------------------ Brian ...

Happy Friday Bridget!Would love for you to look into daily8count.com! I have lots of theatre educators (middle school included) that use daily8count as their bellringer everyday.

Hi! Definitely not a silly question. Best way to answer would be to pack comfortable SHOES (i.e. sneakers)! You will be walking a lot between the convention center and getting to/from shows. As for clothing, you do not need anything "fancy", unless you are planning on attending the Broadway Back ...

Hi Tanya! Well in the past 48 hours it has gone from humid disgusting-ness pushing 90 degrees to incredible fall weather! According to the Weather Channel App, it should perfect late summer/early fall weather for conference (low of 60 at night, high of 80 during the day). I wouldn't pack a winter coat, ...

Hi Missy! Smart thinking! I would definitely agree that purchasing the weekly MetroCard is the way to go (even though you won't be there for the full week). It's easier to not have to think about reloading your MetroCard...and you won't end up with a MetroCard that has a few dollars left on it at ...

Hi Kathy, I'm happy to help ya! Once you arrive in Penn Station follow the overhead signs to the A,C,E trains. Once you are getting close to the subway entrance, be sure to follow signs for the A train DOWNTOWN/BROOKLYN. At this stop the center platform (where you will be) has both UPTOWN ...

Hi Cassy! Firstly, I want to remind you that it will take about 30-ish minutes to get from the Conference venue to Times Square (hoping the MTA Gods are on your side). So dinner plans may be very quick...I want to suggest grabbing something quick before the show to tide you over until the curtain ...

Hi Brooke! That depends on which airport you are flying into...: LaGuardia: take an Uber! it's definitely doable to take public transportation, but you will have to transfer a few times and for your sanity I would suggest just taking a car. JFK: take the subway! actually ...

I have been in this show a few times now and each one had a different take. My favorite was set in a children's playground. Gave lots of levels and made for some interesting/fun staging. Outside/inside an abandoned church worked well too.

Howdy fellow guest artists, I've been thinking lately about creating a searchable database with guest artist information, and I figured today why not get the ball rolling? This will be for chapter directors/state conference coordinators to discover new and exciting workshops to bring to their ...
