The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of UBC

Hello everyone!

Regarding the Christmas showcase, we decided to have another meeting on WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19 at 7PM in SUB 207/209, given the poor turnout at last meeting. This meeting is MANDATORY for anyone who is interested in participating in the Christmas cabaret/showcase. If you are unable to make the meeting, please email me (Natasha - nazacher@gmail.com) with your ideas for a performance no later than WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19. We need to start thinking about the program and organize some semblance of a rehearsal schedule.

Thanks and have a great week!

Natasha

Hello all,

Thank you to those who came out to our planning meeting on Monday!  Your enthusiasm is contagious, and we now have a fabulous performance opportunity coming up in the fall term, a Christmas cabaret/showcase called “I’ve Got Chills!” lead by three lovely ladies Natasha Zacher, Sydney McIvor and Vanessa Quarinto.

But of course, if we’re to have a show, we need PERFORMERS of all sorts, and that’s where you lot come in.  Below I’ve attached Natasha’s email to you guys, and it has all the information you need to get involved!  Please read it and reply to her at nazacher@gmail.com to express your interest.

Please also RSVP to our Facebook event and join our Facebook group for more updates from your favourite society.

Hello G&Sers!

Thank you to all of you who came out to our Musical Mashup evening last night.  We were overwhelmed and extremely touched by your enthusiasm, and we hope you had as good a time as we did!  It was so nice to meet all of you.

After hearing some of your exciting ideas for the club this year, we’ve decided to hold a (“How to Succeed:”) Planning Meeting on Monday 3 October at 7pm in Room 207/209 in the SUB.  We’re going to hash out some plans and see what we’ll be able to do this year.  Exciting, I know.

Even if you weren’t able to come to the Mashup night, please come, we’d love to meet you.  If you’re interested in planning things for next year, being a part of production teams, taking on a leadership role in the club, or joining the Exec, you should also try and make it out to the meeting.

Hope to see you there!

A quick reminder about our Musical Mashup Mixer happening this Friday 30 September at 6:30pm, we now have a room and will be seeing all your lovely faces in 42U in the SUB.  Here’s the Facebook event, please RSVP so we know to expect you, and also join our snazzy Facebook group.  Friday, we’ll be doing a bit of singing, talking, socialising, finding out what our club will be getting up to this year and other performance stuff…  Bring a friend!  No experience necessary!

See you then.

A warm welcome to the fabulous 2011-2012 season of the Gilbert & Sullivan Society of UBC!  We’re the only UBC club specialising in musical theatre (acting, singing and dancing) and Gilbert & Sullivan (two very cool dudes).  Thank you all for your enthusiasm during Imagine Day and Clubs Days at UBC.  We’re looking forward to meeting you and having a blast this year.

1. First Event! Musical Mashup Mixer, Friday 30th September 6pm

Do you want to sing and dance in a no-stress environment with friends?  Are you a fan of GLEE?  Or would you just like to get a preview of or even help plan the amazing things we’ll get up to this year (we’d love to hear your ideas)?

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. This event is FREE of charge and open to anyone who’d like to see what our club’s about.  Can’t sing or dance or want to just help out behind the scenes?  That’s okay!  This meeting is a chance for all of us to get to know each other, and have some fun while we’re at it.

Friday 30th September.  6pm. Book the date/time.

Location: the SUB (we’ll send off another email with a meeting place and room).

What we’re up to: Introductions and icebreakers, followed by a quick beginner workshop in which we attempt to make music with two popular songs from musicals (i.e. MASHUP!), then we’d love to chat and hear what YOU want to do with the club this year.  This will hopefully be the first of a series of workshops held by our Society.

Also a great place to meet future audition buddies, artistic teams, and like-minded people.  Just sayin’.
