Company Meeting Notes: May 11th - Shut Up, Ashland 2019, Welcome Colleen!, Communication Resources, Wilson Arts Website

Hi all -

Lots to talk about coming out of yesterday's Company Meeting.  Sorry for the cross-scheduling with the WHS Instagram Live Awards posting...the furlough canceling our Friday meeting last week threw me for a loop in scheduling.  We hae a date and time now...and oh, so much more to throw out there for ya!  (Take some time with these ones...this is the second post of 2)

More key things going on right now:

WELCOME COLLEEN!:
As many of you already know, the move to distance learning totally messed up our student teacher Colleen Crabtree's onsite teaching experience.  Well, as with so many other things, we have had to get creative in solving the problem.  She is now guiding some of our class assignments via Google Classroom...we hope you can say hi!

COMMUNICATING (SW)2 STUFF:
Make sure you're checking the three primary sources we use to reach out!  With no onsite alternative, this is the only way we can get information out to folks about everything we've got going on:
-The blog: Well, you're here, but it's southweststageworks.blogspot.com
-The Remind: For breaking alerts, remind.com/join/southw2
-The social media: Our primary hub of social-ness, Instagram: @sw2official

THE WILSON ARTS WEBSITE:
Wilson's Performing Arts classes have an online gallery to share their work during our time away from Wilson!  Theatre has a page...If you've been working on projects (scripts, design work, recordings of monologues or short films), send them to me for inclusion on the site!  I'd love to have your work to share with the Wilson community.

If you'd like to see the work of your Wilson peers, go to the link below while logged into your PPS Google:

SHUT UP!:
I am working with Shut Up directors Ella Carson and Fiona Dubay to work out how to present this honored WHS tradition!  Expect to hear more about Shut Up! very soon...

ASHLAND 2019:
As you may already know, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival has cancelled the remainder of its 2019 season in accordance with public gathering policies.  We'll be looking at whether or not Ashland will take place in 2021 once we know more from the Festival as to its plans.
