State Theatre Festival Workshop Proposal

Workshops are held Friday and Saturday of the festival. You may propose up to four (4) workshops, and we will select a number commensurate to projected festival participation. Proposals must be received by September 30, but are appreciated sooner. We will notify individuals in early October if their workshops are accepted.
