 CTAM SPRING CONFERENCE

CTAM's Spring Conference is a once every two year extravaganza, it alternates with the AACT Festival, and is hosted by one of our member groups. The next spring conference will be in 2014.

Like the Fall Conference it provides community theatre enthusiasts with a weekend full of outstanding workshops, great entertainment, food, fun and frolic
while providing an opportunity for one of our state theatre groups a chance to "strut their stuff" and show the rest of us how it is done!

Hint: It's not too early to consider hosting this conference at your theatre...
