Get in the Act!

Ways to Get Involved

There are two main ways that you can get involved - on-stage or off-stage. For those of you who don't mind being in the limelight, the on-stage crew is comprised of singers, dancers, skit performers, and the band. There are NO auditions! Everyone is welcome. For those of you who prefer a supporting role, there are many ways for you to contribute either as part of our back stage crew, technical crew, or perhaps as Director or Assistant Director for one of the performing groups.

How to Join the Show

A new exciting season begins every fall! The first General Membership Meeting is held in September and is usually announced in the local papers at the end of the summer. At this meeting, new and returning members complete a Member Registration Form. The planning occurs for the next show throughout the fall when various committees meet. If you miss the General Membership Meeting, you can always sign up at our Start-Up Meeting on January 6th 2010 at Uxbridge Secondary School in the drama room (245) when rehearsals begin. At any point, feel free to contact the Director or Producer for information or to obtain a Membership Form.

Membership Requirements

Each member makes a small contribution that goes a long way to ensuring a successful and fun season! The membership fee is $50 per person per year. This fee helps cover the rising costs of the show every year and is used to offset expenses such as costumes, rehearsal space, music and props. The fee is due upon registration.

How High School Students are Getting Involved

Because uxperience is an adult show, you must be 19 years of age to be a member. However, there are lots of ways for high school students to participate in pre-show production elements - perhaps as an "apprentice" tech crew member, painting sets, distributing flyers, ushering on show nights, or helping at the concession stand. Ask our Show Director how you can get involved and use your time towards your community service hours.

Calling all Directors!

The uxperience executive is now sending out tenders for the role of director for the show year 2011. The current constitution states that the term of office shall be for one year with the show director's option to extend for a second consecutive year with the approval of the executive board. A copy of the director's role can be obtained by contacting the executive chairperson. All interested, CURRENT and PAST members are invited to submit letters of intent to the executive chairperson Marion Smith (marionmaysmithh@yahoo.ca) no later than the last day of March, 2010. All members will be notified by email shortly after the April executive meeting.
