It's been a busy week getting ready for our season to start with the comedy troupe Second City.  The stage is set, piano is tuned, programs are done and volunteer ushers are ready to go.  Tickets are still available!

Two things start this month of Septmber:

1. This month I am very excited about the start of the Sheldon School of Performing Arts. Led by Julie Martin, who has expertly directed many workshops here for young performing artists, this school will nurture in students a sense of confidence and create an environment that encourages self-efficacious accomplishment. I look forward to having the vigor of youth energizing The Sheldon programming in the future.

The School starts with some after school workshops (fall and winter terms) and a few one time workshops. In the future, we hope to expand the classes to include more young people as well as adults.

2. The Sheldon is now starting to look at programming for the 2010-2011 season (September through May). We will be looking at all sorts of artists to bring to Red Wing and securing places on the schedule for local artists and performing arts groups.

Please let me know if you have any artists you would like us to look at. The 2010-2011 schedule should be wrapped up by March 2010 -- so until then, we are open to all suggestions.

Let me know, too, if you have any suggestions about operations here at The Sheldon -- how we can improve, how we can make your experience at the theatre better.
