Vicki Harris reports:

The workshop was very informative and I think he definitely has us in the right direction.Ê Jims wife Patsy joined us on Saturday and she knew a lot about it as well.

Jim gave us a run down on how to set it up; where to go looking for money; how long the play should be, and the best times, etc.Ê He was wonderful and the information was a great help.Ê He went to Rose Blanche and saw where they would do their theatre. Daphne gave him a tour of the Hook and Line Interpretation Centre.Ê

Follow up:

The next real step will be story gathering for a strictly writing weekend workshop. If scripts could be loosely nailed down before the summer - they could be tweaked according to casting/student talent and then there could be more performances in the time schedule.

Tentative dates are the weekend of April 21, 22, 23.
