With the success of FASS 2006 behind us, it's time to start planning for FASS 2007. We need to fill Committee positions. Some of the positions will be filled by applicants who interview with the committee, some will be filled at the Annual General Meeting on April 4, and a few will be filled later in the year. I encourage you to consider holding one of these positions -- you'll get to know a lot of people involved in FASS.
If you'd like to apply for any of the following positions --
-- you will need to send an email to Douglas Stebila by the end of Tuesday, March 7, 2006. In the email, you should include the following:
You will then need to come to the committee meeting which will be held sometime between March 11-19 to interview for the position. Descriptions of the jobs are available online.
If you'd like to apply for any of the following positions --
-- you will need to be nominated at the FASS Annual General Meeting. You don't need to send any information in beforehand, but if you want to let me know you're interested in the job I can tell you more about it if you'd like.
Applications for the other open Committee position -- Stage Manager -- will be opened later in the year. And the creative staff -- Music Director, Choreographer -- are also appointed by the Director later in the year.
Please feel free to email me or the current holder of the position with any questions you might have.

FASS 2006 is underway! Thanks to all those who came out to auditions. We're done our first week of rehearsals and let me just say that Shakespeare is nearly a perpetual motion machine with all the rolling-over-in-the-grave he's done lately. But that shouldn't stop you from coming to see A Midwinter Night's FASS when it hits the stage of the Humanities Theatre:
Tickets are available at the Humanties Theatre Box Office on the first floor of Hagey Hall.

Auditions for FASS 2006 will be held on Wednesday January 4, Thursday, January 5, and Friday January 6, 2006, starting at 7:00 pm each night in Hagey Hall room 334. (You only need to come one of those nights.)
Don't be nervous! Anyone who auditions for FASS will get a part! But we do need to get an idea of whether you're a singer, a dancer, or a mathie. So be prepared to sing a few bars of your favourite tune, read some lines from the script, and do the shuffle.
If you're not looking to appear on stage but want to be in the band or work back stage, you should still come out to auditions one night that week. Our technical director, music director, and stage manager will all be around to answer questions.
If you'd like to learn more about FASS and what getting invovled in FASS would mean, take a look at our new member handbook.

Come find out more about FASS at Feds Services Day on September 20th. The FASS producers, members of the writing team, and all kinds of crazy FASSies will be on hand to tell you all about the FASS Theatre Company.
We're also looking for people to help us out at this term's Feds Services Day on September 20th. We're not at Clubs Days this year, so we this is our chance to reach the UW population in person before the Fall Organizational Meeting.
So if you can help, e-mail the producers saying when you are free on September 20th. We'll likely be setting up a booth with pamflets and pictures, and will need happy energetic FASSies to staff the booth during the day.

It's me, your Vice again, announcing another great chance to meet up with those crazy people you're used to seeing only during January. Guess what! We can be friends all year!
Anyway, KW's got this improv group called 'Theatre On The Edge', which, over time, has had a FASSie or two in their ranks. They do shows Thursday nights in the Button Factory (or, more formally, the Waterloo Community Arts Centre), and I thought it would be fun to fill one of their audiences with FASS. Also, I love improv. Oh, and seeing you guys would be great, too.
I'm tired of being witty. Here's the skinny, laid out clear:
I can see us strolling over to the Barley Works at the Huether or someplace similar in the neighbourhood if there's interest afterwards, but it is a weeknight....
If you think you might be coming, please let me know so I can give them advanced warning. I would feel bad if we dropped 40 people on them. Well, OK, not really, but maybe a little.

With the theme for FASS 2006 chosen, it's time to start working on next year's script. (For those who missed the AGM, we're going to have a Shakespearean theme.) Writers' meetings for this term will start Tuesday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the UW Grad House. (Just look for the table with FASSies -- we'll likely be on the second floor, but our actual location will depend on which tables are free.) If you're not a grad student, don't worry; you can still get in.
Meetings will happen every Tuesday for the next three or four weeks, depending on how people feel about meeting during the exam period.
Also, if you're interested in writing for FASS but you didn't sign up on the writers' list at the AGM, send an e-mail to me and I'll add you to my list.
UPDATE (3/27/05): This week's meeting has been moved to Wednesday. It'll still be at 7:00 p.m. in the Grad House.

Mark it in your calendars: Sunday, March 20th at 1pm in the Humanities Theatre. We'll vote in new committee members, watch the DVD, and have a generally good time. Speaking of new committee members, we're pleased to announce the following committee members for FASS 2006:Now, as you may have noticed, we don't yet have a director, producer, or tech director (position descriptions are available here). I know there are people out there who are interested; if you are, definitely fire me an e-mail message to talk about it. In the meantime, I'm setting a second deadline for applications of Tuesday, March 15th, with interviews to be held on the evening of Wednesday, March 16th. If that day doesn't work for you, get your application in earlier and we'll schedule around you. It would be great to have these positions filled prior to the AGM.
