To our Members: Notes for April Whoa. That's not Keri... Actually you won't see Keri's pic here for a little while as we've decided to use this space as an opportunity for you to get to know the rest of Theatre Alberta's staff a bit better. And, since I'm the one who builds this monthly enews, I'm first! My name is Aaron and I'm Theatre Alberta's Communications and Marketing Coordinator. You interact with me more than you may realize. Any time you visit our website, our Facebook page or Twitter feed (@TheatreAlberta), more than likely you're reading something that I've posted. Contact me about our website, about Theatre Alberta's Playbill, about advertising with us and about how your membership with Theatre Alberta can serve you or your company's information and promotional needs.

I'd like to extend a special invitation to Drama Teachers in the province to contact me. I'd like to know more about how Theatre Alberta can evolve to better serve you and your students' needs. Below you'll note in our Artstrek 2012 update how quickly the program is filling up. As we intend to add a 3rd week to Artstrek 2013, we want to know more about how to reach your students and let them know about this wonderful program!

I'm very excited to see how many of you have started to embrace our new Classifieds feed. Every month there are anywhere from five to 15 Classified listings that are never posted in Buzz. These listings are ones that are posted and expire (i.e. their internal deadline comes and goes) in between emailing each Buzz. If you have not yet bookmarked theatrealberta.com/classifieds, "liked" us on Facebook or followed us on Twitter, you may be missing out.

Finally, I'd like to use this opportunity to encourage all of you to vote in the provincial election on April 23rd. It is so important for the theatre community to advocate how important this industry is to our province and our quality of life. ArtsVote Calgary has a dedicated page on their website for the 2012 election where you can find out more about each party's Arts platform.

Thanks for reading Theatre Buzz. I look forward to hearing from you!

Aaron Talbot
Communications and Marketing Coordinator
