PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Save the Date!
Time is flying and as I look forward, events are coming fast and furious. Please make sure you keep reading through the enews each week and checking out dates for upcoming shows and deadlines. Just added to the calendar, our end of year general meeting/celebration on May 7. The general membership will have the chance to vote on next year's Theatre Guild Board (see how to be a part of this below) and then we will socialize and celebrate all we've experienced and accomplished this year with Theatre faculty and fellow Guild members.
As you read this page to figure out which night(s) you'll attend the One Act Play Festival, please note the shows begin earlier than most in the past, at 6:00 p.m. (double and triple-checked). So, get your playbill ad in today, buy your tickets and sign up to volunteer where you can. Looking forward to seeing you there!

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!!!
