Many of you know that we have a business called Educational Theatre Consultants. We teach professional development, do one-act play clinics, write lesson plans, and offer help to theatre educators. With this new development, we realized that it is time to take our business to the next level, so we are taking it all online.  Have you ever sat through an in-service or professional development workshop that didn’t help you at all? We all know that feeling, so we are creating an online Theatre Professional Learning Community, and we are calling it EdTC Community. We're really excited about it because at this point in our careers we find ourselves wanting to work with teachers. I mean, we love our students, but we have 59 years of experience, and we really enjoy sharing it with other educators. It will launch January 1, 2021. We are going online and want to give Afterpiece listeners the first chance to check it out with a free trial during the holiday break.
