No experience necessary!

Questions? Contact jbrowng1 or mlauphe1

Please remember to contact any member of Drama Board RIGHT NOW if you
are at all interested in proposing a show for the Mainstage next semester. This commits you to nothing and does not require any preparation. We just
want to know you´re out there so we can make sure you get all the
information you need about putting together a fantastic proposal. (Because we’re focusing now on the proposal process, we don’t need to hear from actors, although we’re happy that people are interested in acting on the mainstage as well!)
We would love to hear from you by the first regular Sunday meeting after break (10–26). On-campus board members are jbrowng1, kcomer1, aflamm1, cklanie1, mlauphe1, istclai1, dtraber1, eviboch1, jvitale1.
Thanks!
