Much like "Lights" is called that because of what they do.

I can broach the subject of the workshops for educators. If nothing else, it is an interesting idea. Thanks! Hi Heather,

Thanks!

I know a lot of teachers struggle to teach drama (and the new Arts Curriculum as a whole) and might be interested in attending the workshop if it will give them some new ideas/activities. Same with the character development workshop. I can let teachers know in my school board about the workshops if it looks like it would be helpful. Drama workshops for teachers might be something you explore offering Anita. There is money to be made there, teachers will pay at least $30 - $50 for a one day workshop if it's good. We just received the new Arts curriculum and there is precious little support or resources out there for us to implement it. I would be happy to sit down with your theatre experts to help plan a workshop aimed at elementary educators. We want the help, we just need good people to offer it.

I've never known it to mean anything other than the lighting/rigging people on a film crew, until I came here, where it seems to have this whole other meaning.

If there's ever a cost for any of them, it'll be to defray cost of materials or rental space and I'll make sure to make that abundantly clear at the time. Currently, they’ll be free.
