Video Now Available! Richmond, VA – Virginia Thespians and the Virginia Theatre Association collaborated to produce a virtual panel to discuss Theatre Education Arts Advocacy on 28 May 2020 at 7 pm. The panel was composed of Jim Palmarini – Director of Education Policy/Advocacy Leadership Network Chair, Educational Theatre Association; Jim Hoare – Executive Vice President of Theatrical Rights Worldwide; Jason Goldstein – Booktix Co-Owner, who just launched Booktix Live for Virtual and Live Performance Streaming; Janet Starke – Executive Director of Virginia Commission for the Arts; and Mark Rogers – Administrator, Theatre Arts Specialist LCPS. Panel topics included resources with which to advocate for keeping theatre arts in a school district’s curriculum, and how teachers and students might create virtual productions in lieu of the ability to produce live events.
