Just For Teachers
Stagecraft Institute of Las Vegas (SILV) is committed to providing state-of-the-art training for individuals engaged in, or preparing to engage in, the specialization of live entertainment technology. This group certainly includes those teachers currently training our future students, so we would like to give back by offering free lesson plans and workshop handouts.
(All downloads require Acrobat Reader.)
