Making and Teaching Theatre in
a Vibrantly Shifting World
A Conversation with Rosemary Quinn
Saturday, April—TBD
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ET
Where is theatre going? As makers and teachers of theatre, how has the world shifted the way we work with each other? How do we guide others in a time of volatile change?
If these questions spark your curiosity, join Rosemary for a Shantigar conversation online. Bring your experiences, challenges, and sense of emerging possibilities.
This Zoom gathering is free and open to anyone who loves the theatre. Let’s look to the future with optimism and share the ways we discovered the theatre and how theatre changed our lives.
Register now and we’ll mail the Zoom link on the morning of the event. We look forward to seeing you.
