Hey all, I'm part of the planning committee for the Upstate New York USITT Spring event, and I wanted to share details with everyone. It's going to be big this year, and hopefully some CBers can make it out!
WHAT: The annual USITT Upstate NY Spring Section Meeting
WHEN: May 2nd, 8:30am - 6:00pm (and beyond!)
WHERE: University at Buffalo, Center for the Arts, Buffalo, NY (Google Maps)
WHO: Anyone! You don't have to be a member of the Upstate NY section to attend, and you don't have to be a New Yorker either. If you're across the border in Ontario or in Northern Pennsylvania or Ohio, make the trip! We'd love to have you.
COST: FREE!
This year's spring event will feature sessions discussing...
We'll also be featuring student work at the event - visit the Upstate website for details on how to submit your work to be displayed.
There will also be special ticket deals available for Configuration Dance Theatre's performance that evening, where you can see the lighting tips and costuming tips you learned from their designers in action.
It's going to be a really big event and we're so excited to be hosting. Visit the website for more details, and if you want to come, register at our event page.
Thanks!
