Musical Theatre NZ Presents Training Weekend 3/18-21

Registrations for Musical theatre NZ's annual conference are now open http://www.musical.org.nz/conference.htm 
 
We have some fantastic forums and seminars on offer for everyone whether you are onstage, behind the scenes, or wanting to direct, choreograph, MD or learn how to manage risks or people, something in there for everyone.  A huge thank you to our corporates for sponsorship and also to those people giving up their time to pass on their expertise to the membership, we have some of the best in the business presenting at this conference.  And also to Nelson Musical Theatre who are hosting conference next year.
 
The dates are 18 - 21 March 2011.
 
Numbers are limited at the Grand Mercure http://www.monacoresort.co.nz/ , so it will pay to get in quickly this year and you don't want to miss out on the early bird registration fee.  We have plenty of room for the forums and seminars and also the Saturday function which is of course, WearableArt ^TM at the WOW Museum, so anything goes ..... http://www.wowcars.co.nz/  (check out the video at the bottom of the page)  It is a stunning venue.
 
The Executive encourage everyone to attend from societies as ask that the Boards/Executives/Committees get the information out to their memberships and encourage new people form your society to attend.  Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
