BAPST NEWS:
BAPST is restructuring. We are forming a BAPST Committee format instead of just holding General Meetings. General Meetings will be held once quarterly, and are open to all.
The BAPST Committee will be comprised of 10-12 participating BAPST theatres who make a commitment to attend monthly meetings for one year's time. The first BAPST Committee meeting will be Oct 27th, 5:30-7pm at the Flood Building. Our goal will be to produce a Mission Statement for BAPST.
All Committee meetings will be held the fourth Monday evening of each month. If you are interested in being a member of the BAPST Committee and you have not been contacted by Shawn, Laura or Dan, please email Laura la...@viragotheatre.org or Shawn shawn_f...@yahoo.com.
For other BAPST theaters, please plan to attend the General BAPST meeting on January 26th, 5:30-7pm.
