CALLING ALL SOUTH LOUISIANA THEATER DIRECTORS AND KIDS!!!

Christ Episcopal School is excited to host a day of celebration dedicated to the positive impact theater brings to our students. We aim to gather all the theater kids from southern Louisiana for a day of connection and community building. There is no greater joy than watching them come together and make new friends. In today's world, it is essential to provide kids with more opportunities like this.
We are thrilled to welcome Brian Curl from Daily 8 Count as our special guest. He will energize everyone for the upcoming school theater season. Brian has an incredible ability to engage
200-plus kids, getting them up and moving together. His festival workshops have always been in high demand. After witnessing his talent at the International Theater Festival in Bloomington, I knew we had to bring him down to share his skills with our southern group.
Additionally, we will offer various workshops in the afternoon, providing attendees with multiple options to choose from.
Thanks to the generosity of our theater family, we are pleased to invite everyone free of charge, which includes Burgers, tenders, and pizza lunch. The doors open at 9:00 AM, with activities from 10:00 AM running until 4:00 PM. A cash concession and merchandise booth will also be available.
Please register your group early (by September 30), as we will close the registration form once we reach capacity. Our sponsors need some time to prepare for the day, and it's important to note that children not affiliated with a school must be accompanied by an adult.
We look forward to a wonderful day celebrating theater!

Where: Christ Episcopal School, 80 Christwood Blvd. Covington, La. When: Oct. 11, 2025
Why: To have a blast and build community, confidence, and spirit.
What's Needed: registration and clothes to move in.
