Get Schooled: TRU Education Panel

Theater Resources Unlimited and Back Stage are pleased to announce a special industry and networking panel, called "I'll Create an Educational Program and I'll Get Funding... Won't I?," on Wed., Oct. 22, at 7:30 p.m. at The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal St., below West 3rd Street, NYC.
 

The panel's focus is to inspire companies to create educational programming for the right reasons; to dispel the misconception that educational programs will solve funding woes; and to explain how to create a program that a donor will consider supporting.

Panelists include: Linda Ames Key, education director of Vital Theatre Company; Jan Hacha, managing director of Amas Musical Theatre; Michael Pizzi, artistic director of Touching Humanity; David Shookhoff, president of the arts in education roundtable and director of education for Manhattan Theatre Club; and Suzanne Von Eck, artistic director of Gilgamesh Theatre Group.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for networking and refreshments. Admission is free for members of TRU; $12 for non-members. To RSVP or to become a TRU member, call (212) 714-7628 or e-mail TRUnltd@aol.com.
