First CODE of the year

Anderson, South Carolina gets the first CODE of the year. Conference Of Drama Evangelism is in it's seventh year. The first one started in San Diego, California and has now expanded to as many as nine conferences. This year we will be coordinating CODEs from the east coast to the west. Some of our clinicians are Johnny Aoki from Los Angeles, Eric Roemheld from LA (A scene set designer and builder)who works for Warner Bros. and Universal Studios. He has worked on such movies like Delgado, Spiderman, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and many more. Terry Vik who has a formal education in theater...he is also a mime and full time dramatist...teaches directing and advanced acting.

These events are cutting-edge and one of a kind. Regional drama teams register from all over the region and perform at night. Classes and workshops are conducted during the day.

Tampa trip just last week

I'm getting ready to coordinate street ministry in Tampa, Florida later in the year, but to do so you have to secure permits. BTW If you are interested in knowing what it takes to do street theater, visit - http://howitiller.com. You'll find a book called Dinner Drama&Street Drama. Anyway, so we've secured the permits and I'll have a team performing at Channelside. It's a pedestrian mall two blocks from the Downtown Tampa arena and a block away from the Florida Aquarium. There should be a lot to do on our down time. A huge crusie ship (I think it was Carnival) was docked there the day I visited the site. The cruise line owns the Channelside mall, but shares the property with the mall management during the week days. Some really nice restaurants and shops are are located right at Channelside. Anyway, there is a stage setting in the middle of the mall and this is where we will be performing. Right now we hoping to schedule the stage from 11:00 to 2:oo (the lunch hours) September 26-28.

We're also going to be on the campus of the University of South Florida. There is a staged area right outside of the Marshall Center where we'll be performing on Saturday September 29th.
