Each month Fellows will have two workshops 1hr ½ hrs each on zoom focused on learning different aspects of the business from marketing, video editing, business models, finance, producing shows, residencies, and grants.

Ultimately, we want to complete our three-part show for both school audiences as an educational assembly and for all ages to enjoy on stages across America.
