Happy Wednesday!

Thanks to the end of daylight savings, you'll gain an extra hour on Sunday. At 3am on April 3, clocks wind back an hour, so if you're a really productive person then you'll have another hour to do whatever you like!
If you're like me, though, it'll just be an extra hour of sleep.😴

Below, you'll find info about directing your own play with the Theatre Guild, being an innovator in agricultural technology, winning $50 by attending PASS, and plenty more.

So enjoy the extra hour this weekend, check out the opportunities below, and have an excellent week!
