Hey all,<BR>
<BR>
Just a note for theater kids and parents of theater kids, NYSTI's Theater Arts School begins in a couple of weeks. Please feel free to come and check out our Open House on Saturday, September 8, 2007 at the Schacht Fine Arts on The Russell Sage Campus in Troy. You'll get to meet the instructors and get a taste of the kind of activities you'll experience as a Student with one of the most acclaimed theater arts education organizations in the country.<BR>
<BR>
It's a great way to have some fun, make new friends, and learn a bit about the craft of making theater. Stop by the free open house on Saturday Sept. 8th from 10am to Noon and play with us!<BR>
<br /><br />
