We're taking this summer camp in a slightly new direction. It came to me as inspiration during my political science class.
For this semester, because we are still more than a year away from the camp itself. We need to redirect our focus from committees, classes, and curriculum stuff to organizational things such as advertising, budget considerations, presentations, practicums, etc.
This project will be available as a comm practicum credit for those of you who still need them. You will need to sign up for Sister Beth Hendricks' comm 390R class, come only on the first day, and tell her at the end of that class period that you want to get involved in the Grotto Theatre Summer camp. She'll tell you what you need to do to meet the requirements of the practicum. It's pretty great.
I want to use that as a way to get as many people involved as possible in the coming semesters. We need to get the word out that this option is available. I will be asking Judy to send out an e-mail around July (before or during registration) to let people know, but word of mouth seems to work a lot better than all that. Tell your friends. Let them know that they don't have to be here in the summer of 2011 to get involved either.
We also need to find graphic designers and advertising people who can help us make some great ads. Talk to your friends about that, too. It would be nice to be able to give announcements at freshman academy, and in the intro-level theatre classes here on campus to get our name out there.
We need to be planning projects and presentations for the schools in the area, that we will be able to present at the beginning of Fall semester. Go to the message board ( grottotheatre.proboards.com ) and share your ideas, get them bouncing around!
That's the jist of what we talked about.
