John Kenrick's Upcoming Talks

 

John Kenrick lecturingFrom John Kenrick: I am still giving talks on Zoom, but I am also resuming in person talks. You can find video clips of some of my talks on the Musicals101 Youtube Channel. If you are interested in arranging a Zoom talk for your group, please email me. As plans change, I will update the calendar below. My best wishes to all -- please take care, and I hope to see you all in person soon!

All libraries and some JCC's welcome anyone taking part in Zoom talks, but please respect the wishes of those organizations who limit attendance to members only.

PLEASE NOTE: Because of the evolving COVID crisis, some events may switch from in person to Zoom only on very short notice. Please check just beforehand with the presenting organization using the contact information provided below. My apologies for any confusion or inconvenience -- we have to be flexible in these challenging times.
