My highlight was having the time to talk to Ron about how we run musicals at our College and ask him questions/learn from a highly skilled professional.
Fantastic opportunity to be engaged in ideas, use activities, resource and how deal with and prevent challenging problems that may occur in the lead up to a school production,
This course has been extremely relevant for producing our next production. Ron is well versed in the information he presented and gave great insights to assist with all aspects of putting on a show.
Good presentation – presenter engaged attendees and encouraged collegial discussion.
