REAL-WORLD THEATRE Speaker Series
This free series from Durango PlayFest will bring young playwrights and actors of diverse backgrounds to Durango to speak to students at Fort Lewis College and students in 8th grade and older in La Plata and surrounding counties. Frank discussions of the challenges and opportunities in the industry – warts and all – can inspire students to envision theatre careers they may not have otherwise considered. Events will be held each Spring and Fall. If you are bringing students to an event, please RSVP to mandy@durangoplayfest.org or call 970-903-6537.
