Present a WorkshopEach year more than 150 workshops geared toward high school students and their teachers are presented at the Illinois High School Theatre Festival. We call upon your expertise to provide genuine service and significant educational opportunities for all Festival attendees. Your professional theatre experience is worth sharing. How might you pass your talents on to students attending the Festival?
