Dear Theater Nerds,

Our end-of-summer class series starts next week. From show networking to QLab classes, we've got three different options designed to make you a smarter and more capable theater technician.

Please note: these aren't just any classes — you'll be learning from the guy who literally wrote the book on modern show control, and the folks who built the industry-standard software that runs virtually every theatrical performance in America and around the world.

"Every day's a school day", as they say, but for the next two weeks we really mean it.

This introductory, hands-on workshop, based on John Huntington’s book Introduction to Show Networking, explores the basics of networks and how they work in show systems such as lighting, sound, video, and even stage machinery.

This event is built around a series of seminars delivered by industry professionals; topics include sound system optimization, corporate event workflows, and professional and career advice. Between seminars, attendees can get hands-on time with a variety of live sound consoles.

Taught by QLab’s Sam Kusnetz, this class is your opportunity to make a thorough and deep exploration into all of QLab's features, get hands-on experience, ask questions, and hang out with other QLab users and staff.

This class is for anyone with a basic working knowledge of QLab. As long as you can set up a workspace and use simple cues, this class is for you—from advanced beginners to seasoned pros.
