Director’s Report:
– Planning to set up a meeting with RPI Players EComm and John Kolb to discuss two things: (1) how to formerly word the relationship between the two organizations for our Constitution and Union relationship. (2)The possibility and level of interested in hosting the TANYS festival in 2015 and 2016.
– Jake and Pat reviewed with the new members what TANYS is and how it might be run on this campus.
– We did not have quorum, so we are holding off our vote until next month – vote will just be to agree to submit a bid.
– Workshops – Jake is planning to organize a set design workshop this semester. Will be looking at the Players schedule, as it would be best to have it in the building – goal to have it before the end of EOP. Pat also mentioned her professor at New Paltz might be willing to help.
– Need to have a Nom Com meeting before the February meeting to determine if we will have a Spring pledge cycle.
– Playhouse now has key card access instead of phsyical keys. Jed is on the T-Comm, so the officers do have access. Some of our officers will attend the next Players General Meeting (next weekend) to bring up our concerns.
– Bob Healy was not notified about the Q Award. He was out of town and Jake did not have his correct phone number. Jim requested that a formal written apology be sent out and Jake agreed.
