Every year, the tech majors go to the USITT (United States Institute for Theatre Technology) conference, and the powers that be are trying to decide if SM majors should go as well. I've heard nothing but great things about the conference, but only in strict regards technical theatre. I'm told that there are some great lectures, and there's always free stuff, but I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who had gone as a stage manager and found it beneficial. Money is tight right now, so I don't want to spend it to go if I won't get anything out of the experience.
Thoughts?
