I Want to Run the Whole Show! (Non-Profit Arts Administration)
Ages 12-18 | $50 | Instructed by Larry Hembree
Being in the limelight is awesome when the stage is where you want to make your mark in life, but it takes a village to create a successful theatre. CCT Executive Director Larry Hembree will help you understand who keeps the theatre running – the people who help create the “magic” yet never ask for the applause – and how. Your finale will include presenting what kind of theatre you’d run, and you might even get the opportunity to be a CCT administrative intern next season!
