New! Added Archive Study beginning Thursday, October 23 at 7 PM CDT/ Friday, October 24 at 11 AM AEDT
Please check your time zone.
Have you had an interest in digging into the CHhekhov Archives with us at Chekhov Studio Chicago but found the time didn't work out? A Chekhov colleague from Australia has asked if I could arrange an Archive class that would work for her part of the globe. I am happy to say, yes!
We will be starting new with the Archives. The other session that begins, October 13 at 11 AM CT is a continuing group. All are welcome to either. Both are eight weeks.
If this is something you would like to do, please let me know by Chekhov Studio Chicago gmail.
Since this just came up, I need your help to reach people. Please share this news with those you think would like to join us.
