Good morning, I posted this last fall, but did not receive any responses. Does anyone have a suggestion for a Theatre consultant in our near the Columbus, OH area. Our district is moving ahead at breakneck speed to redesign our black box and so far there have been ideas presented which show a misconception ...

I'm in Columbus, OH and a local school completed Lion King Jr with some great puppet/costumes. They have no place to store them and would hate to just throw them out. I've attached pictures. If you are interested and can pick up, I will put you in touch with the owners. ------------------------------ ...

I might hold elections for next year's officers now. They can be acting Officers/President for the months of April and May and then take over official duties next year. ------------------------------ Holly Thompson OH ------------------------------

My beginning class is open to all grades.  It is a semester long "survey" class.  We do a duet scene unit, a monologue unit, a costume design unit, a props unit and an overview of Theatre History.  They get a taste of quite a bit.  The two acting units include things like stage directions, script analysis, ...

Good morning, Our Black Box theatre and auditorium (potentially) are to be included in the district facility updates.  The two spaces were very well appointed (not necessarily properly) when built 30 years ago, but things are worn and some areas need serious attention just because other things were ...

This is my absolute  all time favorite play. I've directed it three times and the kids love it as well. Such a gentle show with a sweet message that doesn't hit you over the head. Great character development opportunities. My troupe has adopted the phrase "Take an umbrella, it's raining." as a caring ...

In my opinion, there isn't any opportunity for an ensemble on stage, and it would ruin the relationship of characters.  This is why I don't like the movie.  I had a costume team, but also had a wig team to care for wigs and pre-style them back stage as well as help change the wigs between scenes.  I ...

Hi Josh, We got a set of security cameras for our closed circuit monitoring.  We could move them very easily as they are small and then we place them where we need them, depending on the configuration we are using in the black box. (It's a small, 100 seat space which is flexible). In addition, ours ...

Maybe this is my fault in that I missed this in a notification somewhere.  Heads up to those who have ordered items such as honor patches and regalia.  I used a PO to order the items (yeah!  That was easy) but the invoice no longer comes from EdTA/ITS (where my PO was made out to based on past years). ...

Thanks Dave.   We have licensed the projections and have used QLab in the past for sound cues, although I was not the one who used it, so I'm not sure how it works.  As far as projection equipment, we have nothing more than a classroom projector, and that's it, as far as I can tell.  Where do I even ...
