Hello Beautiful People,
I’m going to keep this post short & sweet.
This weekend I’m off to the NYSTEA Conference!
NYSTEA is the New York State Theatre Education Assoication. A thriving organization dedicated to preserving and protecting and encouraging the theatre arts in schools.
Here’s there official motto, (or in their words, “mission”):
