The STAA 2007 conference was hosted by Nashville Shakespeare Festival; the focus, building community, was beautifully demonstrated by the opening reception. The Music City showed members of STAA some kick-ass hospitality with an introduction to the work of Nashville Shakespeare Festival and musical entertainment from the Festival’s friends in the music industry. Attendees had opportunities throughout the weekend to see theatre and attend the Grand Ole Opry in its original home at the Ryman Auditorium. For STAA members the theme provided an opportunity to consider our place in our own communities, our position in the national community and our role as a membership community. The sessions in the 2007 conference provided opportunities to strengthen alliances, create new partnerships and work together as advocates for our field.
