Final notes –
- Celeste Lagrange, who made our beautiful newsletters last year, has taken the position of Theater Arts Student Production Liaison this year! Congrats to Celeste, that's fantastic for her and us! It also means that our news may be less visually appealing for a while. 😕Rest assured, however, that you will still get the information you need – please read all THEA NOTES mailings if you don't want to miss important dates, deadlines and opportunities! 😃👍
- Heads up that Arts Division websites are getting a makeover this fall, including PPD sites (THEA and AGPM)! We are working hard preparing for the transition and will do all we can to make it smooth and to provide an improved online experience for all users.
I look forward to seeing you all do fantastic work this year!
