The goal of a Bill Sapsis Seminar is to offer individuals an opportunity to explore what the technical side of the entertainment industry has to offer. The seminar setting is informal. A round table style discussion about the possibilities and pitfalls, joys and heartaches of pursuing a backstage career. Everyone's active participation is encouraged.

The groups that will benefit the most from this seminar are:
   •  High School students
   •  Undergraduate and Graduate Theatre Technology students
   •  Undergraduate and Graduate Architecture students specializing in public spaces
   •  Engineering students

Bill's long and varied career includes working on Broadway, in the Broadway shops, in regional theatre and as the owner of an internationally recognized rigging company.

"With Bill, we get confirmation of what we are doing right, challenges to recognize and develop safe practices, and leadership
