Two Alumni Shows in July
We have two more FANTASTIC opportunities to see productions jam-packed with Hoyas both on-stage and off!
See the information below for all you need to know about
Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband produced by Big Rodent in New York, NY,
and
War Zones, written (and directed) by Georgetown's own Laura Brienza (COL '09) and being put on for the 2010 Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC!
These shows have almost identical runs, so pencil in the next few weeks as your chance to see some PHENOMENAL Georgetown Alumni productions, maybe even both shows!!!!
Wishing you all the best and a wonderful summer!
The Georgetown Theatre Alumni Board
Big Rodent presents Oscar Wilde's dark and witty comedy, now set in a time of Mods vs. Rockers, Prewar vs. Postwar, and Society vs. Free Love. Greed, guilt, and love all vie to control the fate of a family, and all in time to get supper at the club! Lord Robert Chiltern is a star on the rise, a man who has everything: a promising political career, a beautiful wife, and all associated cliches. But when an old American cohort, Mrs. Cheveley, appears, Lord Chiltern must confront the single dark secret of his past, a secret that could destroy all the good he has done. He turns to his closest friend, the millionaire playboy Lord Goring, who happens to be trying to woo Lord Chiltern's sister. As all sides bicker and maneuver towards the sticky resolution, they must each decide what ends justify unsavory means. July 15-24, Wings Theatre, 154 Christopher St, NYC Directed by Meghan Formwalt. Featuring: Adam Aguirre, Anna Bridgforth, Colleen Conroy, Alex Estrada, David Jenkins, Sarah Krokey, Joe Mathers, Nick Monroy, and Leigh Poulos. Assistant Director: Brian MacInnis Smallwood |

GTA Member Diana Cherkas hits the Big Screen!
I’m immensely proud to share with you that Anything For You, a feature film in which I have a supporting role, is releasing theatrically on April 23rd, for a week’s run at BIG Cinemas in five cities across the US!
This first week of showings is pivotal for the success of the film. Depending on how we do, we have the opportunity to move to more theaters and extend the run. I WOULD LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!!! I will actually be missing the premiere itself because of another performance Friday night at Centenary Stage Company (!), but I’m going to try to attend as many showings in North Bergen, NJ as I can with those of you who'd like to join me.

Read the latest GTA Newsletter!
Georgetown Theater Alumni
December 2009 Newsletter
In this newsletter: Alumni Story: Steve Esposito | Reasons to Support GTA |GTA Origins
Happy Holidays!
As the end of year approaches, our board has gathered on our cell phones across the country, concocting plans and hatching plots for the upcoming year. Regional events as you’ve seen during Homecoming and Opening Night celebrations are just the beginning! And that’s where your help comes in. Read the newsletter below for the kind of support you can provide; not only to students on campus who need our help right now, but also opportunities for us – the older alumni. As one of my favorite Georgetown gals liked to say – We Do Things! Or maybe I should say We Will Do Things! With your help, of course…
We’re thinking of planning larger events this coming year, and welcome any and all your ideas. Different brainstorming sessions have yielded: regional midnight theatre competitions, meet-and-greet networking events, speakers, happy hours, ice skating, discounted theater tickets and more! But we’d love your input. After all, we’re here for YOU! We want to volunteer our time – crazy, right? The only question is how to put our time to use, and that’s where your ideas are worth a million bucks (and a million bucks ain’t bad, either).
Just email us at gutheatre@gmail.com!
From your fellow Georgetown Theatre Alumni: Enjoy the nostalgic look into the past in the stories below, as we finish up the first decade of the third millennium!
Love,
Sarah
Dear Fellow Georgetown Theatre Alum,
- Updated picture frames for the Poulton Hall lobby: $75-$100

Thank you for your continued support – we cannot do it without you.
Sincerely,
Sami Ghazi
Donor and Fundraising Chair
Georgetown Theatre Alumni
P.S. We also encourage you to volunteer your time. Current students and young alumni in particular are eager to learn from and network with alumni who have gone on to become leaders both inside and outside the theatre. Contact us atgutheatre@gmail.com for more information on how you can help!

Mask and Bauble in 2009-2010: message from the Executive Producer
A brief update from The Mask & Bauble Dramatic Society. After lots of paperwork, our season mailing is finally at the printer and hopefully will arrive at some of your mailboxes shortly. In the meanwhile, I've attached a digital copy, which includes our Season Announcement and an event invitation for our Taming of the Shrew Alumni Event. This was an extremely limited mailing, so if you know of someone who would like to have received it, please let us know at maskandbauble@gmail.com and we will send them a copy.
We had a fantastic opening with No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre which sold around 90% of its available seats. Furthermore, in spite of having hardly any money in the budget to spend and even less actually spent, No Exit was a high-impact production that involved alums and faculty teaching students the elements of light design, and it also provided multiple students curious about the artistic process with a chance to observe directing in student theater. See the reviews for the production from campus newspapers here: The Hoya The Voice.
We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Mask & Bauble production Caroline, or Change by Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori, which is in collaboration with The Black Theatre Ensemble and the Department of Performing Arts. The show will run November 12-14, 18-21 at 8PM and November 15 at 2PM and is Mask & Bauble's debut in the Gonda Theatre in the Davis Performing Arts Center. All Mask & Bauble Lifetime Members will be eligible for a complimentary ticket on a night of their choice. Please contact Laurel Charnetsky (lnc5@georgetown.edu) and she will coordinate with the DPA Patron Services to ensure your ticket is waiting at the will call line when you arrive.
Tickets for the general public, as well as our online membership and donation system, are available at https://digitalcommons.georgetown.edu/blogs/maskandbauble/
We welcome any and all feedback from the Alumni about how to improve Mask & Bauble as an institution that fosters student creativity and leadership. Please send any comments to maskandbauble@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
The 2009-2010 Executive Board The Mask & Bauble Dramatic Society
