I've been working on some handouts for USITT this year. Let me know if you have any thoughts either about the content or the layout.
Here's the front:
and here's the back:
I'm trying to come up with something that shows what we're doing that other people aren't. I'm not sure if that's really the best angle we have, but it's one we haven't really tried before.
Let me know.

Would This Whet Your Appetite?

I think the content is great, I was thinking "hey I should go to school there! oh wait..."
You may consider doing something more interesting than just the numbers, to compel people to actually read said content :) The first thing that came to mind was some kind of "universal icon":
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/12/28
...which was in turn inspired by Portal, which is *the* game all the kids are playing these days.
Or little photos, or something. Just an idea.
I think it's nice, but it's a little scary when you read the contents. The draw for a THEATRE major is to do productions and shows. Here you go totally for the lab thing, which isn't that great.
Playground is great. It really is a good idea both in text and in practice. I think you should emphasize that anything goes with examples.
I could go on forever, but I think I will write you an e-mail (if you really want the feedback?)
I actually really like how clean and simple the numbers are, and I think the things you've chosen to highlight are great - it really shows how different the program is from your typical production program.
I know it's top-secret, but I feel like the description of Oswald leaves something to be desired - I remember being really drawn in and intrigued by your description of the class in a previous post, but the blurb in the flyer didn't quite do that for me...
And I'm totally jealous of how many stage management classes you've got now - can I come back? =)
I agree with elj about having some other visual aid instead of numbers.
You could also had something to Oswald about conquering your fear and thinking outside the box or something.
Last thing, there is a spelling mistake in the Crazy Scheme paragraph. Right now it says "ensures THE no students" when is should be "ensures THAT no student".
Oh, and if there were some way to make "The Production Program" stand out more in the heading. When you first read it, it looks like "quote...@ DRAMA...quote" which doesn't read very well. At least for me.
Other than that it's a good piece.
I'd do something about that typeface. The letters jumble together and make it hard to read.
