[Perform-talk] National Performing Arts agenda 2014

Mon May 26 08:46:27 UTC 2014

If this is something that you and others are interested in making happen, I would be the person you need to coordinate with. As this year it is an actual competition, having it recorded and streamed would be excellent. So, as I am the coordinator for the performing arts activities, I would be the one that any of that needs to go through. With regard to David's question, if one chooses to perform, the price will be $10. Anyone wishing to enjoy the show as a member of the audience, the cost is still only five dollars. I hope that is more clear for you.  
Regards,

Jordy D Stringer
Pres., performing arts division, national Federation of the blind
