This event has been a tradition, now named in the memory of Trish Ralph, who was an amazing leader, educator, and mentor of the region for decades.
We will be kicking off the the year to come by offering connection and welcoming new Members. Students come from across the region to experience hands-on workshops and to learn what USITT has to offer for their future.
Robe Lighting Inc. is offering two training workshops, one hands-on with the Robospot, and will be bringing an assortment of instruments as well as a console.
We will be giving away passes to the USITT 2027 Annual Conference & Stage Expo (held in Baltimore) to some lucky students and, of course, we will have USITT swag available!
