Crowley's Creatives

  Hello GetAWAY and Shenandoah friends, We're super excited to announce that "GetAWAY" will be playing The Family Drive-In October 2-4. I convinced them to give us the earlier spot of a double feature (7pm-ish) because we will have SO MANY PEOPLE attending.  I know some people aren't going to the theater yet because of Covid concerns. Hopefully, the Drive-In is a safe alternative and still a fun and unique night out. Tickets are on SALE NOW: https://familydriveintheatre. ticketleap.com/getaway--my- brothers-crossing/details The film stars senior acting students from 2019 and their performances are "Killer" (see what I did there?).   bw   Why Read?

  Things to consider when you start to write an email What is your audience’s relationship to you—for example, is the reader your teacher? Your boss? A friend? A stranger? How well do you know him/her? How would you talk to him/her in a social situation? What do you want your audience to think or assume about you? What kind of impression do you want to make?  1. There is a  specific  subject line 2. There is a greeting to the person receiving the email - not a "hey" 3. Get directly to the point. Use no exclamation points, emoticons, or slang. 4. Use proper grammar, spelling, and style. Email is not an exception, especially since it might be the first or only was someone gets an impression of you. 5 Use a closing. For your closing, something brief but friendly, or perhaps just your name, will do for most correspondence. For a very formal message, such as a job application, use the kind of closing that you might see in a business letter. Thank you, Best wishes, Se...

Creativity is not art.  It is not just a characteristic of tortured geniuses and mad scientists. Creativity is a capacity – it is something that we can all learn to use more effectively. It allows us to develop ideas to solve problems in different ways and to spot, adapt to, embrace, and capture opportunities.  TIME TO PUKE:  Make a list of 20 creative people, organizations, or ideas. Write them down as fast as you can. They don’t have to be famous.  What are some of the things they’ve done that you consider creative? How have these examples influenced you?
