A Special Presentation by the Grove Players “A Christmas Carol – Tested!” (Complete with Ghosts)
Wednesday, October 24, 5:30-6:00 p.m.
Attend yet another play by the world famous Grove Players…Our story starts when Testing Tim has come to ask for Christmas Day off for his team and himself. Scrooge is a ruthless project manager who has been with the company a number of years, and is convinced that he is a great success, since he always meets the deadlines. Scrooge says No, but then is visited by three ghosts. The Ghost of Projects Past points out problems from previous post project reviews. The Ghost of Projects Present shows Scrooge that he is not viewed with the respect he thought, even by senior management. The Ghost of Projects Future shows what will happen if he doesn’t change his ways—he is fired and everyone is cheering. Scrooge then wakes up and realizes it is all a dream, but can he really change? Should he be allowed to stay or should he go? What happens to him? The audience votes!

Thursday, October 25, 9:45 a.m.

Use this as an opportunity to give a talk for the first time—or the first time on a new topic. Are you interested in presenting a Lightning Talk at STARWEST? It's not too late to submit your idea for your talk.
