PRESIDENT'S CORNER
How to Support the Theatre Conservatory - Part III
While technically an extension of Part II - Volunteering, becoming a member of the Theatre Guild Board is another level of involvement. I feel so fortunate to work with the men and women of the Board who support the Conservatory shows and put on additional events. We meet monthly the week before the general membership meetings to plan all that needs to be accomplished. There are additional volunteer hours involved in these sorts of positions, but it is a great group to be a part of! Term of service run from July 1-June 30. If you want to know more about this level of involvement, make sure and join us for our March 19 general membership meeting in the black box after the PTSA meeting.
Back to Show Business! We hope you will join us this week before Spring Break for the Paul Baker New Plays Festival. The plays run in conjunction with the school wide arts week. Show entry is by donation and there are two chances to see each block. We hope to see you multiple evenings as a volunteer and/or audience member!
Concessions & dessert donations and volunteers are needed for the 2024 Paul Baker New Plays Festival. All concessions and merchandise sales benefit our amazing students and faculty! Please review the available slots on Sign Up Genius using this link to volunteer for Paul Baker.
Paul Baker Festival tickets are available at the door. This is a pay-what-you-can production of six student written, faculty directed new works!
Pegasus in the Wild
We don't want to miss an appearance or accomplishment! We rely on our guild members to let us know where to spot a Pegasus in the wild. If your child is in a non-Booker T production, please let us know. Our talented kids are so busy we need your eyes and ears to make sure we get the word out. Please include viewing dates, ticket links and any other details that will help us spot a Pegasus in the Wild. Alumni are Pegasi as well so keep those tips coming in too!!!
If you are the parent or guardian of a Theatre Conservatory student you are invited to join the individual class Facebook group for additional information & updates about everything that is going on at Booker T.
All Facebook groups are private and you will need to provide your BTW student's name and answer the questions in order for your request to join to be approved.
