HERE'S A NOTE FROM ROSE about an upcoming Workshop and Signing at DRAMA BOOKSHOP:

I'm delighted to announce that David Storck and I have been invited to conduct a workshop followed by a book signing at The Drama Book Shop, 250 West 40th Street in Manhattan, on Friday, May 3, 2013. Starting at 5:00 pm, David and I will offer a workshop in DBS's downstairs theater space (followed by a Q & A) on why ensembles matter, how to build strong foundations, and ways of cultivating truly collaborative ensembles. Then from 6:00-7:00 pm, the event will continue upstairs with a book signing (and sales!) of Ensemble Theatre Making.

Now: The Drama Book Shop has asked us to sell a minimum of twenty (20) copies of the book at the event. It would be a tremendous help to us if you would 1) RSVP to this email that you're going to attend the event (the workshop, the book signing, or both!), and 2) if you intend to purchase a copy of the book for yourself, or as a gift for a friend or colleague. We're excited by this opportunity, please help spread the word, and we look forward to hearing from you!

 

Best wishes,

 

Rose
