In order to accomodate the schools already out of session earlier this summer, the deadline for those students wishing to apply for our newly formed "Student Representative Board" has been pushed back to September 25th.
The mission of this board is to:
· Network with other drama students regarding upcoming events, productions and other noteworthy items within their own drama programs.
· Share opportunities for education, volunteering and performing at the Playhouse with their own drama programs.
· Introduce a younger audience to the Playhouse through cultivation events.
· Learn about the artistic vision and general operation of the largest community theatre in the nation.
Our goal is to have two representatives from each drama program within the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro -- that's over 30 programs!
If you or your students haven't received information regarding this exciting opportunity, please contact Melanie Walters at mwalters@omahaplayhouse.com
