Greetings!

Thank you for coming to Vancouver for the Theatre for Living training this August.

Organizing accommodations as early as possible is a good idea. August is peak season in Vancouver! I have access to a VERY limited number of Theatre for Living Training alumni who may be willing to open up their apartments for TfL Trainees coming from long distances. If you need this, please contact me at: hello@theatreforliving.com.
