Workshop Proposals
due by October 1st
The 2024-25 PA ThesFest will be held on January 2nd - 4th at West Chester University. We will have three 60 minute workshop sessions (Thu at 4:45pm, Fri at 3:45 & 5:00pm). We are looking for in person workshop presentations. PA Thespians will pay $350 to a presenter to do the same workshop three times.
All workshop submissions are due no later than October 1st. We will contact you by the middle of October to let you know if we are interested in/able to accommodate your workshop submission request.
The workshops will mostly be presented in classrooms.
TRAK-1 BACKGROUND CHECK - ALL Adults (Workshop Presenters, College Reps, Chaperones & Troupe Directors - any non student) need to have a background check. You will receive an email with the application link if we select your workshop. Please complete that ASAP. This background check is being done for and paid for by PA Thespians. This is separate from whatever school districts or colleges may require for adults.
If you have any workshop questions, please direct them to Andrea Roposh, Workshop Coordinator
PA Thespians will provide the following for guest artists:
1. possibly - Workshop equipment (projector and sound system)
2. Wifi connection in the workshop space.
Guest Artists are responsible for the following:
1. Transportation to/from the Conference.
2. Room and Board
2. Shipping costs of workshop materials.
3. Supplies that “make” your workshop run (i.e. make-up, mask supplies, etc.) We would like to avoid any paper handouts. Please consider distributing digital information if appropriate.
5. Laptops and any technical needs you may have - you will need your appropriate dongle for projections if you are using Apple equipment.
Diversity matters to EdTA and PA Thespians as we strive to serve and meet the needs of our students.
