Navigational Changes in Sightlines

Ever remembered an item seen in Sightlines "sometime last fall" but not been sure how to locate it? A few small changes in the format of the pages should make that easier. Each of the four navigational items on the menu bar just above these words now has a small glyph to help guide readers to the main USITT page, the calendar, classified ads, or information about Sightlines itself.

Readers can use the search engine within the Sightlines tab as an aid to finding any stories or references in past issues. These small pointer graphics help draw attention to this area, which also includes useful tips for accessing the publication.

Hot Times in Louisville!

There was quite a crowd of USITT people on hand during the first week in August in Louisville, as the Conference Committee held a planning meeting; the 50th Anniversary Steering Committee met for their initial discussions, the Commissions held a retreat, and the Executive Committee got together for their summer discussions. All had a chance to enjoy the Marriott, headquarters hotel for the 2006 Annual Conference & Stage Expo, and many commented on the friendly, helpful, and efficient hotel staff, too.
