2019-2020 DTASC Festivals
Shakespeare DTASC 2020 will be cancelled.
In light of the current coronavirus situation and following the directive from Governor Newsom, the Drama Teachers Association of Southern California has decided that it is in the interest of our membership, the students,their families, and the general public to cancel our upcoming Shakespeare festival.
Although we regret the loss of this event in our 100th year of celebrating educational theatre, safety is always utmost in our minds. Those schools that have already registered will receive a full refund. Any questions regarding refunds can be directed to Lynn Lanning at llanning@pacbell.net.
At this time, there is no change to the 2020 DTASC Scholarship application and audition dates. However, DTASC will be waiving the requirement of participation in 2 recent DTASC Festivals.
We are investigating the possibility of a video festival.
Best wishes to all of you. Stay well.
Susan Eiden, president
