USITT OVS in conjunction with the Stage Managers' Association of the US is pleased to announce a joint Fall Conference on October 9, 10 & 11 2020. The Collaborators Conference will focus on stage managers, designers, technicians and how they collaborate. The conference will also have an international piece and be a combined two and a half day event for the two organizations and will be held at the Idea Center and in several spaces at Playhouse Square Cleveland. There will be a special extended opportunity for the Ezekiel Exhibit, include participation from the Collaborator Parties, the SMA's International Cohort and members of the Cleveland Play House staff. We hope to take advantage of some nearby shop space to host hands on technical workshops. Special events for students, teachers and professionals are in the works. Look for a formal press release in late February. If you are interested in participating, please drop a note to elynmariebkazle@gmail.com
