Battle of the Bards

Unfortunately, due to a lack of available performers, we’ve had to cancel August’s show. We’ll see you in September on the 26th!

Also, check back here for more details on our first-ever fundraising charity dinner, which will be held on behalf of the Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre!

We’ve got three people signed up to perform at August’s Bards, and while they’re all great, that’s just not enough. Especially seeing as we hand out three prizes. I mean, really, I might as well leave the voting tokens at home. So unless we get up to the minimum eight performers in a hurry, we’ll have to consider cancelling the August 15th Bards. And no one wants that.

In related news, the reserve books for the August 15th Bards are now open! E-mail us or RSVP on Facebook to claim a chair!

Now, in unrelated news, the FASS Theatre Group is hosting its own talent/variety night on September 2nd in UW Theatre of the Arts. The show is for first-year students, so the only way to get in is to be a first-year student, a frosh leader, or a performer.

In case you didn’t get the hint, I’ve been asked to canvas for performers for the occasion, as well as to host the event (seeing as I was FASS’s last director and have some experience in this regard). Check out the attached message from Diana, FASS President, for more details.

So, here’s how it goes:

1. If you want to perform at Bards on August 15th, E-MAIL US!
2. If you want to come to Bards on August 15th, E-MAIL US!
3. If you want to perform for FASS on September 2nd, E-MAIL US!

Hope to see you on the 15th!

Subject: [FASSmod] FASS @ Orientation Week!

Hi guys,

I’m really excited to annouce FASS’ involvement in Orientation Week 2008! We’ll be hosting a Variety Night at Theatre of the Arts (in ML) for the Residence Orientation Committee.

What we need are acts! Lots of acts! Musical acts! Non-musical acts! Improv acts! Anything goes, within reason of course.

We’re also (with the help of our lovely Chief Script Writer and writing team) going to have a scripted piece (maybe 20 minutes or so) to perform, so we’ll need people to be involved in that.

The time commitment for this event is one night only: Tuesday, September 2nd. We’ll get a chance to rehearse in the ML theatre in the evening, and then the Variety Night starts at 9:45.

Please send me an email if you’re interested in any of the following:

- doing an act (let me know briefly what it is and who’s in it)
- acting in the scripted piece (we may have one more rehearsal before the actual day)
- helping to write the scripted piece
- being in improv games
- generally helping out

This should be a lot of fun, I’m really excited about participating in Orientation Week (for the first time since 2004, which was awesome)!
Hope to hear from lots of you,

~Diana Chisholm
President, FASS 2009
