Meeting Minutes 5/20

Hey, hey, hey! It's Fat Albert! Jes' kiddin'. It's only Sam, sorry to disappoint. Any-skidoodle, on Monday, May 20th in the year 2013, the Tigard High School Thespian Troupe #2833 held a meeting to initiate new members and to discuss pressing issues. The following are among the items discussed:

 Improv-A-Java

• Wednesday, May 22
• Set-up will begin immediately following school. All thespians are required to be there. Set-up will conclude around 5.
• The cafeteria will be open at 6 for guests to come and enjoy refreshments. Thespians are required to be here by 6.
• The improv show starts at 7, and will be followed by the awards presentation. We should conclude around 9 to 9:30-ish.
• All thespians and advanced theatre students are required to be there. Advanced theatre will be performing, non-advanced theatre thespians will be running concessions, ticket sales, etc.
• Uniform for Improv-A-Java is all black with a splash of color. One small article of clothing that is bright and colorful (tie, socks, headband, etc.) and the rest, completely black.
• If you would like, you may bring a change of clothes for the awards presentation, but it is completely and utterly optional.
• The awards presentation is optional if you are not a thespian, but not optional if you are a thespian.
• If you volunteered to bring things, please don't forget. If you can't remember, just refer back to the earlier post.
• We are still looking for a handful more syrup flavors. If individuals could please, please volunteer to bring a flavor not already purchased, it would be much appreciated. And if you do so, go ahead and comment on the items-list post where others have commented in regards to syrup flavors, so as to avoid multiple purchases of one flavor.

Thespian Overnighter

• Friday, May 31
• We are still looking for a place to host this. If your house is available, please comment on this post, so we have an idea of who is able to host.
• If you do host, we will all be chipping in both monetarily and through food donations as well. We could even go pot-luck style if people are so inclined.

The Next Thespian Meeting

• Monday, June 3rd
• At this meeting we will be initiating the new Thespian Officers
• We will also be going over patronage stuff, so it's crucial that you be there.
• And it'll be the last for the seniors. I believe the last of this year, as well.

As always, if you missed the meeting, go ahead and meet me in the commons at a table near the gym for the TMM. You'll be excused for missing the meeting, and all will be well.
Initiates, Congratulations! Happy initiation, and welcome to our family!

Meeting Minutes 5/6/13

Hey guys! So, yeah, we did have a meeting. And if you weren't there, you missed Rachel and I not having voices. Missed out, man. Missed out. You also missed some key information. But that's why we have Tuesday meeting make-ups, and the meeting minutes. And without further introduction, the meeting minutes:

Initiations

• They will be held next Monday.
• Location is TBA, but they will be next Monday.

Point sheets

• Must be turned in by Friday.
• Get them from Bussey.
• Turn them into Bussey, or the folder on the Thespian board in the Scene shop

Strike

• We are finishing Strike tomorrow, Tuesday May 7th.
• It is required for everybody who was involved in Our Town.
• If you will, spread the word to your friends so they'll be there, too.

The Theatre scholarship is due on Monday, May 13th. Information can be found in the theatre.

The Second-Semester One-Acts will be on May 28th. All Thespians are required to go.

The Thespian Over-nighter will be on Friday, May 31st. If you would like to host it, please talk to your parents, and see if they would be ok with it. We will be giving preference by seniority, but underclassmen can still host, if it's available.

Mr. Nick Bussey had to pay for those individuals who did not pay at Red Robin, and also paid for directors gifts. If you will please give him a dollar, or two, it would be greatly appreciated.

As always, DO SCRIP. Talk to Bussey about it. He'll hook you up.
