Fellow voters, it is time...We have the GoogleForm for TheatreCOM board elections up now! It will be up until April 30th.

Fun facts to remember:
You do have the option to edit your response as long as it's within the next week.
You will need to vote from your UMBC account.
For each position, you can choose "ABSTAIN" if you feel that none of the candidates would be successful board members.
The blurbs for each person running are in the poll.
If no one wins at least 50.1% of the vote, or two people tie, we will have a runoff poll.
Each position's duties are listed again below for your convenience (as well as in the poll itself).
Quick note: Myself and Chloe Scully will be acting as the election board for this year. If anyone has reasonable evidence of election tampering/interference, it should be sent directly to us!

Happy voting everyone!

Hi everyone! So the weather has changed from freezing to pleasant to sweltering and back to cold and raining! If you are like us and hate walking anywhere in the rain, you'll be happy to know that we are not having a meeting tomorrow.
HOWEVER - we do have elections coming up soon. Any candidates who wish to run should send in a blurb to [email protected] by 11 a.m. of April 23rd. We will have a meeting then to discuss their platforms and such, like an actual adult election, and then will vote. We will have results by May 5th at the latest.
If you have any questions about the positions, please feel free to contact us.

Hello fellow theatre lovers! We hit a little snag, had a few logistical errors, and it turns out New Playwrights Festival is actually performing 2-4 p.m. on Sunday instead of the original time of 8-10 p.m. We are so sorry for any confusion/hassles this causes. We have changed the times on the events, so if you look at any Facebook posts/events for NPF, they are correct.
Again, we are so sorry!

Heyo ‘Commers! We do not have a meeting today, so be sure to enjoy your free hour elsewhere.
Everyone who came out to auditions was incredibly talented and we are excited to start working with you. Your directors will be emailing you soon, if they haven’t already. Congrats and have fun!
