03/28/23: A Note from Gettysburg Community Theatre (GCT)

Hi, everyone,

I just wanted to make you aware that Gettysburg Community Theatre (GCT) reached out to me about theatre opportunities within the Gettysburg community. Their message was as follows:

"I am writing to ask you if SMuT members would be interested in becoming more involved with the GCT. The GCT wants to connect with theatre artists at the College and has a variety of roles available for students. The GCT is looking for students to audition and to volunteer as stage crew, tech crew, etc. Let me know (Mav Schmidt, schmma05@gettysburg.edu) if you would like any additional information. I can also connect you to the Director. Here is the website: Gettysburg Community Theatre."

Please feel to connect with Mav or GCT about getting involved in the community theatre in Gettysburg!

Thank you,
Helen O'Neill '23 | President

01/30/23: PLEASE READ: Addressing Issues

Good afternoon,

I am e-mailing you today to address the elephant in the room. I am aware there have been malicious statements made regarding SMuT.

I will say this once. SMuT does not tolerate bullying. I understand being upset you didn't get the role you wanted in the show; I also did not get cast in the role I wanted. I do not, however, understand taking out this disappointment on others. If you have issues with the show or how it was cast, you can bring it up with the directors. If you have an issue with the directors or the club at large, you can bring it up with me or my Vice-President, Roisin Daly, if your issue is regarding me. We are more than willing to sit down and have a conversation with you addressing your concerns.

If you have spread one of these malicious statements, I am giving you this opportunity to come clean and confess. If you do so, there will be no repurcussions. We can meet and discuss whatever issues you had that caused you to feel the need to say something. If you do not and I find out you were the one who said these things, you will be removed from the club and banned from any future productions by SMuT. This applies to future cases.

From this point forward, if you are found to be bullying another member of the club, you will be removed and banned from any SMuT productions.

As for casting, I can only tell you this: SMuT casts based on what is best for the production. There are a lot of factors that go into this - individual acting talent, actor chemistry, availability, etc. However, these factors are purely professional. The Addams Family had a large casting team of six people, one of whom was a casting assistant who met almost every actor for the first time at auditions. The casting team was equally critical of everyone. Most of the principal cast of The Addams Family have never been cast in a principal role before, SMuT or Mainstage.

For people who think the Theatre Department casts by favoritism, I cannot and will not comment on that. SMuT is completely unaffiliated and unrelated to the Mainstage productions. The last two musicals, Into the Woods and Next to Normal, were and will continually be unrelated to SMuT.

It saddens me these things must be said because SMuT aims to be a friendly and positive environment. I hope you all can continue to uplift and support each other in the future.

This is going to be a fun production, and I can't wait to work with y'all.

Hey everyone!

I hope you all had a great winter break!

I am reaching out to ask for your assistance. We as a club are looking for your submissions for a logo! Anyone is allowed to submit their idea.

01/07/23: Yawdaorb: Broadway Backways

Hey, guys!

I know everyone is super excited for The Addams Famliy, and I am too! However, today I am e-mailing you to notify you of another event - Yawdaorb: Broadway Backwards. Yawdaorb is essentially our spring revue, a series of musical theatre performances, but this time with a catch. Historically, Yawdaorb has just been gender-bent musical theatre, but as gender has evolved, I feel we have outgrown this theme. While I still encourage you to sign up with gender-bent performances, I also encourage you to find other ways to break expecations in musical theatre. For example:

• a song from Hamilton sung like an aria from an opera

• dancing to the Nutcracker in the style of Hip Hop

• playing a song in minor rather than major

There are many ways to challenge expectations, and I'd love to see what you come up with!

Yawdoarb will take place February 4 at 7:30 PM in Stevens Theatre. Signups can be found here and will close January 20 at 5:00 PM.

Looking forward to your submissions!

Greetings ,

I hope you are all surviving finals so far.

I come with an important announcement: the identity of our First Year Representative.

Please welcome Nicholas Ryan (they/them).

Thank you to everyone who voted.

12/12/22: Spring Musical and General Updates

Hi, everyone!

I am absolutely enthralled with how much interest the spring musical has been getting! I just wanted to update you that based on responses we received, we will be attempting to re-apply for The Addams Family with new performance dates: March 31 at 7:30 PM and April 1 at 2:00 PM. We ask that you keep this in mind when applying to the creative team or auditioning for the show.

If you are interested in applying for the creative team with these new dates, please read over the creative team responsibilities and expectations to see what roles would be a good fit for you. Applications will close on December 18 at midnight.

First-Year Representative elections also close today at noon. If you are a first-year and you haven't voted yet, please vote now!

We have also created an anonymous feedback form for you guys to fill out if you have any suggestions or concerns for how the club is being run. We value your opinions a lot and would love to hear back from you! If you have attended any of our events this semester, please consider filling this form out and letting us know how we did and how we can improve.

Good luck finishing your exams!
Helen O'Neill | President

12/02/22: Spring Musical Dates

Hi, everyone,

Unfortunately, we could not come to an agreement with college choir's home concert and The Addams Family. As such, SMuT is looking to choose new dates for the Spring Musical.

I must note, first, that obtaining performance rights is a legal process that is very complicated and difficult to navigate. As such, we have to be very careful about changing our dates because we have already begun the legal process.

We are looking to move the spring musical to 3/31 at 7:30 and 4/1 at 2:00. If we did, would you still be able to participate in the spring musical? You can vote here.

Thank you,
Helen O'Neill | President

12/08/22:  Spring Musical Winner and Creative Team Applications

Hi, everyone!!

I am so happy to announce that The Addams Family has won the final round of votes for the Spring Musical! Please expect an e-mail a week or so into winter break for details about auditions.

I have heard there are some hesitations because the second showing will be the same day as the home college choir concert. However, this showing is a Saturday matinee and will take place at 2:00 PM. The show should not interfere with the choir concert. Unfortunately, if you guys are called to practice during the production, you will have to speak to Dr. Natter about moving the practice earlier, ending before 1 PM, or later, starting after 5 PM, in the day. I have no tie to choir, and we are simply a club, so I do not have the ability to advocate for you.

Now that we have decided on the spring musical, we are also looking to solidify our creative team for the musical. As I mentioned in the first e-mail with the round of votes, we are looking to fill the roles of:

• Director - Must work over Winter Break
• Choreographer* - Must work over Winter Break
• Music Director* - Must work over Winter Break
• Stage Manager
• Assistant Stage Manager*
• Sound Board Operator
• Light Board Operator
• Costume Designer*
• Scenic Designer*
• Props Master*
• Make-Up/Hair Assistants*

* Actors can apply

General descriptions of each role have been attached to this e-mail, including time commitment and experience expectations. Most of these roles are able to be filled by the same person and even actors, so don't be afraid to apply for multiple roles if you are interested. Applications can be found here and will be open until 12/18 at midnight.

Once our creative team has been solidified, BoD will be taking a step back from the spring musical. We will be here to facilitate and play the role of producers. The director will have the final say on any creative decisions, so this is a big role to fill!

Looking forward to this show!
Helen O'Neill | President

12/05/22: Spring Musical Votes - FINAL ROUND

Hi, everyone!

Unfortunately, I have some bad news. Pippin did not make it to the final round of votes. I know. Truly sad. However, two musicals did! The Addams Family and Something Rotten! were tied for first in this past round of votes. Since my #1 choice has been voted out, I will now begin my new campaign for The Addams Family. Simply because I wanna ~Tango De Amor.~ Again, I will require you listen to songs from the musical before voting. This time I suggest listening to:

• "When You're an Addams" - The Addams Family
• "Crazier than You" - The Addams Family
• "Welcome to the Renaissance" - Something Rotten!
• "God, I Hate Shakespeare" - Something Rotten!

Here's the final round of votes! They close Wednesday at midnight, as well as submissions for the First-Year Representative which close at 5:00 PM. (Get it? Wednesday? Like Wednesday Addams??)

Thank you,
Helen O'Neill | President

P.S. Humor House has a torture chair. Just consider that.

12/02/22: Spring Musical Votes - Round Two

Hey, everyone,

Thanks so much for voting on the spring musical! We are super excited for the next round of votes. Right now, we have the top 5 musicals that made it through to the next round (Pippin. Pippin. Pippin). You are required to listen to at least one song from each musical before voting.

Please listen to:

• The Addams Family - "One Normal Night"
• Grease - "Summer Nights"
• Something Rotten! - "A Musical"
• Mean Girls - "Where Do You Belong?"
• Pippin - "Magic to Do"

There are only 5 musicals left, and this would only take you a maximum of 15 minutes. Please do your research and open your mind to the different possibilities for the spring semester. You can vote here. Votes will close Monday at 5:00 PM.

Thank you,
Helen O'Neill | President

P.S. But Pippin is one of the only musicals that has made me cry. Not because it's sad but because it's just so relatable and powerful.

11/30/22: SMuT First Year Rep

Hi everyone,

I know we are all very excited about the Spring Musical, but I'm here to let you know that, if you are a First Year, you now have an opportunity to join the SMuT Board of Directors.

The First Year Representative will give a voice to their year in the Spring. If you would like to run for this position, sign up using the link below before noon next Wednesday (12/7).

https://engage.gettysburg.edu/click?linkid=e55d20b2-797a-411d-bc04-f082af6d6d9e

Please note, the First Year Rep is also responsible for representing SMuT at Student Senate. Every club needs a Senate Rep, or else they will be derecognized. If we are not recognized, we cannot get any money from Senate, which means that we cannot afford the rights to any potential musicals, which means the club cannot function.

Nominees should plan to attend all Senate meetings in the Spring. If you cannot make that commitment, this position may not be for you. But don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to join our BoD in the future.

11/28/22: Spring Musical Votes - Round One

Hi, everyone!

Thank you for sending in so many suggestions for the spring musical! We had an overwhelming amount of interest from you guys. The BoD looked over the list of suggestions and removed any that would not be logistically possible for the club, and we are still left with 21 musical options.

Unfortunately, we can only do one spring musical, so we will need to cut our options down to our top 3 contenders. Before voting, I ask that you at least consider shows that you have not heard before. Just listen to the most popular song from the musical! And if you find you like it, maybe consider listening to the top three songs from the production. You guys submitted a lot of good choices, so give your peers' suggestions an chance.

Voting can be found here. Please pick your top three options. The votes will close on Friday, December 2, at 3:00 PM.

Note: The BoD did not remove any suggestions out of opinions; this is a club-wide vote that we do not wish to hold a monopoly over. If you are unsure why your suggestion is not listed in this round of votes, please e-mail me at oneihe02@gettysburg.edu, and I'd be happy to discuss the topic with you!

Happy voting!
Helen O'Neill | President

P.S. But the two leads of Pippin are high tenors, meaning they can be sung by lower or higher voices! And there's a DUCK which means their can be a DOG.

11/22/22: Spring Musical Suggestions

Hi, everyone!

It's come time to vote on the upcoming spring musical! I know you might be thinking it's too soon, but we will get started with auditions soon after winter break, and we want to give everyone an opportunity to prepare! Depending on the musical that is selected, the spring musical will take place March 17 @ 7:30 and March 18 @ 2:00 in the CUB Ballroom OR March 17 @ 7:30, March 18 @ 2:00, and March 19 @ 2:00 in The Attic. The Ballroom will be selected for a bigger production v. the Attic for a more intimate production. This will be included in the final vote for the shows. For now, we will just be taking suggestions. Please suggest up to three shows.

Things to keep in mind before suggesting a show:

• Will we be able to get enough people to fill all the roles? (i.e., not Hairspray)
• Are we racially diverse enough? (i.e., not Aida)
• Do we have the vocal talent for all the roles? (i.e., not Phantom of the Opera)
• Has it been done here recently? (i.e., not Into the Woods)
• Is it dance heavy? (i.e., not West Side Story)
• Is the cast predominately male? (i.e., not Newsies)
• Is there room for an ensemble? (i.e., not Six)

You can find the form to suggest musicals here. We will also be sending out an e-mail later about filling out roles for the production, so even if you don't want to act in the production, think about shows you might want to work on! Some of these roles can be combined (or even actors in the show), but roles we will be looking to fill will be:

• Director
• Choreographer
• Music Director
• Stage Management
• Sound Board Op
• Lights Op
• Costume Designer
• Scenic Designer
• Props Master
• Make-up/Hair Assistants

I look forward to seeing your suggestions!

Helen O'Neill | President

(P.S. Personally, as a club member and not an executive, I will suggesting and advocating for Pippin!)

Thank you to everyone who came to support the club by seeing Rocky this past Saturday! Even though we just finished up with our last event, we have a very quick turnaround for our next one.

With the end of the semester approaching, the Fall Revue is also on its way! The fall revue is an event that takes place close to the end of the fall semester consisting of a variety of numbers revolving around a theme.

Anyone is welcome to sign up to perform, including singers, dancers, and musicians! If you would like to take part in this year's fall revue, please complete this form.

You are more than welcome to try and write your own songs as well and send a video of you performing it. Some songs we suggest would be:

• "Why We Tell the Story" from Once on This Island
• "Chip on My Shoulder" from Legally Blonde
• "Santa Fe" from Newsies
• "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" from Annie Get Your Gun
• "Good Morning, Baltimore" from Hairspray

10/11/22: Rocky Horror Picture Show

Hi, everyone!

I hope you had a lovely break over reading days! I am e-mailing you to remind you that our annual ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW shadowcast is coming up! We will be hosting auditions 10/19 at 9:30PM - 11:30PM and 10/22 at 3PM - 5PM in Brua Hall, Room 100. Very minimal preparation is required. Just come in and perform a song, dance, or something cool for us! No need to sign up ahead of time; just show up and your audition will take less than five minutes. If you only want to be part of the ensemble (Phantoms), you don't need to prepare anything for your audition at all. Let us know at the auditions, and you're good to go!

The time commitment for RHPS is very small. We will rehearse 10/24-10/27 at 10PM - midnight. The actual performance for Rocky will be 10/29 in the Attic at 8:30PM. We expect to finish up some time between 11 PM and 11:30PM, but plan to stay later to help clean up after the performance.

Additionally, if you would love to be involved with RHPS but performing isn't your style, consider working the event as a TIPS server or a sober monitor! If you are interested, or have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at oneihe02@gettysburg.edu.

Thank you,
