This is a pivotal moment for theatre education. As a theatre teacher, you're expected to chart a brand-new path for yourself and your students – but how? Join us for a virtual Pro-D conference in which we seek to meet the moment in keynotes, workshops, and peer discussion that addresses the why, how, and what of theatre education in this new and unexpected environment.  

Event highlights: 
  • Practical tips, tools, and technologies for teaching the Performing Arts
  • Product showcase demos of helpful tools and services   
  • Small group “deep dive” session to workshop your ideas and plans with other drama educators  
  • Meet Famous Canadian playwright John Lazarus, Hollywood Celebrity Jeff Daniels and Broadway stage manager Jason Daunter
    You'll walk away inspired with practical solutions and ideas you can put into place this school year.    

    ***After the event, you will be emailed a receipt that can be used for reimbursement within your school district, following their various pro-d reimbursement policies.
