Add Verb's Cathy Plourde speaking in Brunswick and Lewiston

Cathy Plourde, director of UNE's Add Verb Productions, has been asked to speak at Bowdoin College in Brunswick on a theater careers panel in early February for the college's Masque & Gown and Career Planning Center. This panel aims to give students interested in the arts a chance to explore opportunities in theater, tech, management, and education. Plourde's unique background and health and wellness education work provides a look at educational and nontraditional approaches to theater careers. 

On Feb.  21 at the Lewiston Public Library as a part of the Great Falls Forum season, Plourde will be speaking on "Arts, Advocacy & Action: Acting as if Our Lives Depended on It", sharing some of Add Verb's work in public health and education.

Great Falls Forum programs take place from 12 noon to 1 pm in the Library’s Callahan Hall. The programs are free and no advance registration is required. More information on the series and lunch options.
