WORKSHOPS

I offer a variety of workshops in conjunction with my performances. They are usually two hours long but can be any length you'd like. I ask for $50.00 per each actual workshop hour. I can teach on Acting, Directing, Writing, Stage Management or Starting a Drama Ministry. If your church has a drama team this is a great way to give them some basic skills to improve the level of their performances. Call me and we can talk about what would work best for you.



VIDEO OF "TRAVELING LIGHT"

A 40 minute video of my performance of "Traveling Light" (The Gospel of Mark) is available for $15.00. Send me a check made out to "Alan Atwood" for $15.00 times the number of copies you'd like and I'll send you the DVD. OR e-mail me and request the number of copies you'd like and give me your snail mail address. I'll send them out to you with a bill you can return with a check. Please include your phone number on all correspondence.
