Chris's Workshops
Production Boot Camp

So you've decided to put on a show (musical, play, one act or One Act Festival) or maybe you want to learn a few tricks to make it easier for you and your school to produce and perform a show. This workshop is open to teacher, parent, & student alike. Because we work as team to ge the show on stage.
Workshop participants will work with the presenter on a interactive presentation on what to do in order to get your show running and getting parents involved in your show. How to get over the mid show hump. To what do I do now that the show is over.
Once the presentation is done a roundtable discussion will occur to allow a question and answer session and a free exchange of ideas that have worked for them and what hasn't worked for them.
