John Kenrick's Upcoming Talks
From John Kenrick: I give talks in person, on Zoom, or both at once (a.k.a "hybrid"). You can find video clips from some of my past talks on the Musicals101 Youtube Channel.
All of my talks include PowerPoint slde shows with video clips and last approximately an hour, with time for Q&A at the end. I am usually fully booked four months in advance so please plan ahead. You can see a full list of my topics. If you are interested in arranging a talk for your group please email me.
Most public libraries welcome everyone to take part in Zoom talks, but please respect the wishes of those organizations who limit attendance to members only.
