Welcome to the wonderful world of theatre! This new blog' sole purpose is to learn more about any type of theatre. Some posts will speak about specific musicals and plays while others will talk about different behind the scenes aspects such as lighting or the public relations work that goes into producing a show; just to give you a taste of what is to come. In addition, if any of my readers have suggestions about what to write about I will gladly consider them!

For my first post, I would like to talk about a club that I am particularly involved in, the RIT Players. For some quick background, the RIT Players, found in 1995, is completely student run. The RIT Players produce between 3 and 5 shows per academic year. Like most technical schools, there is no theatre major at RIT or many opportunities to act. Due to this, the RIT Players provides an outlet for students interested in any aspect of theatre.
For instance, I am an actress in a lot of the shows the RIT Players produce but I am also the person who does the advertising and public relations for each upcoming show. Another friend in the RIT Players is the props master as well as a stagehand.
The range of shows the RIT Players produce have included annual "24 Hour Shows", dramas such as "Stage Directions", modernized and traditional Shakespearean works such as "Much Ado About Nothing", comedies such as "Exit the King", musicals such as "Little Shop of Horrors" and even student written work. The production for this current quarter will be "Exit the King" and will go up week 8 (February 4th - 6th).
I encourage anyone interested in theatre and at RIT to check them out! They meet every Tuesday at 8pm in the 1829 room of the SAU. You can also reach them through Facebook, Twitter, and their website listed below.
