A note about this workshop in a virtual platform:

Ideally, any training involving as many physical and mechanical components found in a projection booth and theatre is best performed within a space with access to all necessary equipment.  As a modification, our technical director (residing in the theatre’s apartment) will have sole access to the theatre and all the necessary streaming and recording equipment required to present within a Zoom classroom.  The workshops will meet daily Monday through Friday for a total of five three-hour sessions.  

 

Please contact andy@campustheatre.org  with any questions or concerns about the program and virtual environment.
