The Senior Theatre sessions at this year's conference were
excellent. Here's what people said about the past conference:
• Who would’ve
thought one conference could positively affect so many lives. Within
hours, we found ourselves connecting deeply with new acquaintances as
the wonderful world of Senior Theater brought us together and enriched
our lives forever. Our group is still talking about the impact it had
on us. Linda LaRocque
• It
was great meeting others interested in Senior Theatre. With committment
and fun, I was reminded of the joy being an actor or audience member
and how it enriches lives. Bara Swain
• I came away with
connections, resources, ideas, and inspirations...I'm fulfilled!
Joe Gadon
• The strand of
sessions was well structured with both the veteran and the novice in
mind. I felt at home, knowing that there's a place for me in Senior
Theatre. Terence Madden
We are creating the 2017 program and hope that you'll
contribute your expertise. Send in ideas for panel presentations,
workshops, papers, and performances. Explore topics like:
• Senior Theatre company management
• Senior Theatre classes
• Senior Theatre for health, wellness
• Funding Senior Theatre

Please include
on the Application Form:
• Contact information: name, address, phone, email
• Professional affiliation
• Presentation title
• A description of the content of your presentation
• If your presentation works as a panel, workshop, or performance
• Your technical requirements/AV. One item per session is free to us;
ATHE pays the fee. For more than one, you'll need to submit payment by
May 1, 2017. Please only request pieces you'll use.
• Room set up.
• Length of presentation. Can it be trimmed/expanded to fit with other
presenters?
Here's the small
print to questions about funding, guest passes,
technical equipment, and other concerns.
• There are a few grants, funding requests, and guest registrations
available but they must be requested with your proposal. Guest passes
are usually for the day or for the session when you are participating.
None are given to ATHE members.
• For performances, there is no technical equipment. Shows
are performed in hotel conference rooms, not in equipped theatre
spaces.
• You will not have access to the space prior to the session. So set-up
and take-down of props, etc. must take place within the 15 minutes
between sessions.
• All presenters must register for the conference and also pay the
registration fee. If they have been given a guest pass, they must still
register.
We receive confirmations in February or March and will
notify submitters promptly.
Deadline for submissions: October 17, 2016
