THE GUILD PRESIDENT'S BIG 3
  1. A huge THANK YOU and round of applause for your support on North Texas Giving Day!  Your generous contributions help the Guild's mission to serve the Theatre Conservatory students and faculty.
  2. Terra Nova opens Thursday!  See below for information on Playbill Ads and volunteer opportunities.  Break a leg to the talented cast and crew!
  3. Check out the many volunteer opportunities available this week.  Volunteering is a great way to get to know other guild parents and to see students at work in their natural habitat.  


Thank You!

Terra Nova Volunteer Sign Ups

We need 3-4 volunteers to work each night of the show (September 25-26 and October 1-3). We will open concessions one hour before showtime and at intermission.

We will have a training session on opening night so anyone interested in volunteering for future shows should come out and get trained that night!
