We're getting ready to stream our first virtual production (pre-recorded). Our actors are doing great in rehearsal but are bummed about the loss of that exciting and afforming live performance experience. I'm trying to figure out how to make the online "premiere" and subsequent performances more exciting ...

Hello all - I have what I think is a somewhat unusual problem. Day after day I read this forum (which I really enjoy) and hear about after-school theatre programs where there aren't enough roles/lines for all the interested students, and programs that feature a large menu of annual productions of ...

Okay, gang. Me again, with another challenge.  :-) The technical theatre program that I have inherited is, to my mind, about 1/10th of a "real" tech theatre program.

Hello all - I'd like to "spruce up" our existing ITS troupe constitution/bylaws/handbook and wonder if some of you would be willing to share yours as inspiration. I'm especially interested in versions that go beyond the boilerplate supplied by ITS - those with details about how to remain a member in ...

Our school is contemplating awarding graduation cords to "honors" performing arts students. I would love to hear how other schools approach this topic. What are your criteria? (And what do you about grads who earned ITS membership at some point but haven't been active for a year or more?) Thanks! ...
