<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'">In the past, we’ve had many questions about funding, guest passes, technical equipment, and other similar topics. So, here’s the small print:</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'">There are a few grants, funding requests, and guest registrations available but they must be requested with your proposal. Guest passes are usually for the day or for the session when you are participating. None are given to ATHE members.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'">For performances, there is no technical equipment. Shows are performed in hotel conference rooms, not in equipped theatre spaces. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'">You will not have access to the space prior to the session. So set-up and take-down of props, etc. must be quick and within the 15 minutes between sessions.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'">All presenters must register for the conference and also pay the registration fee. If they have been given a guest pass, they must still register.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'"> </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode'">Confirmations about our sessions, grants, and guest passes come to us in February and March. We will contact presenters when we know. <br></span></p>
