The Ohio Valley Section will hold its annual Fall Conference on Saturday, September 25 at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. There is still time to register and join in a full day of sessions covering a wide range of theatre related topics.

Those who have been using micro-controllers to make robotic stagehands should bring robots, photographs, or thoughts to the conference. Bring hard copies of resumes and cover letters to the conference and get feed back from the production manager at Tony Award-winning Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Phil Rundle.

There is a special hotel rate of $109 per night for section members at the Columbus Airport Marriott. This is the first time the Section has arranged for a special members hotel rate to make attending the conference more convenient. Attendees must book rooms by September 4 by going to the Ohio Valley website and following the link or going here. Nomination forms and entry fees for the Peggy Ezekiel Exhibit can be submitted until September 7.
