Read on in this issue of Callboard for details. Cynthia Nagle 2020 Virtual Festival Task Force Chair TANYS Treasurer, Webmaster, Marketing Consultant Gary DeWitt Marshall Diversity Workshop The TANYS weekend in November, although a failure in that we could not physically be with the theatre folk we love to share Festival weekend with, was an astounding success because we were able to offer a service that TANYS has not been able to accomplish in years: WORKSHOPS!!!!! When the Board met last month, it was decided that we should plan a day of virtual workshops at some point in the spring/early summer. Stay tuned and look for an e-mail blast with more details! In the meantime, if you have a theatrical talent that you can share in virtual format let me know. A word of advice, and this is the hard part: hands on workshops play better than a lecture format; folks want to do not listen. So, consider your skill set and send me a paragraph or two on what you might propose. The committee will be meeting to consider options on April 3, so please get us at least a topic and title ASAP.
