Dodging Explosions: Play Selection Made Easier
Facilitated by Sean Walbeck, Playwright (Bellingham, WA)
Tired of coming out of the play selection committee meeting with everyone upset and mutinous? Aside from casting, play selection is the most political and divisive business decision a theatre makes. This workshop will show you some simple, easy steps to make choosing a season the fun, collective activity it should be. Give your volunteers and artists a push in the right direction to minimize dissension and get everybody behind your season.
