Hope to see you there!

Ideas for next year!!!

Hey everybody,

We asked this at the last meeting on Friday but since not many people were at the meeting/we had to end a bit early I thought I'd send out an email to get your thoughts. What are some things we can improve on for next year and what are your ideas for:

-communication
-student shows
-events/parties/bonding activities
-workshops
-meetings
-anything else!

Thanks a lot!
Laura

BLT 3/5

Here's the news from today's BLT meeting:

- upcoming BLT/Druids survey: we're looking for general feedback/satisfaction/suggestions, so look out for a survey coming your way soonish. If you have any ideas for survey questions, email Litza (ejohnson@scrippscollege.edu, or reply to this email).

- Shakespeare workshop: the lovely Caroline Schreiber will be here the last weekend in March to lead a Shakespeare workshop! Probably in the Large Studio, but more precise details will be on their way soon.

- no meeting next week: enjoy Spring Break!

- BLT ExComm elections will be happening soon! Please have some kind of mini-speechio/monologue/presentation/interpretive dance/representation by proxy ready for the meeting Friday after Spring Break. Voting will be online the week following the meeting, and results will be announced April 2nd. You don't have to, but it'd be neato if you let the current ExComm members know if you're planning on running.

- Trigorin! Go see it if you haven't already. If you're running concessions, we luff you bunches; plan to be there at 9pm for night performances, 3pm for afternoons.

- Workers for Justice: if you're interested in putting together some kind of theater event to help with the campaign, email Alvin (ajs02006@mymail.pomona.edu).

- And finally, if you're interested in writing letters about rehiring Joyce, email Laura (laura.steinroeder@scrippscollege.edu).

That's all for now... Happy Spring Breakage!

- Stephanie
