So Much Soul, So Much Art.

You may have seen our posters around the Browning Center, and maybe a few on campus. These posters are for different events throughout the year and so far we've had a blast at all of them.

Just in case you missed them, let's recap.

1. Opening Social

Member new and old gathered in Veteren's Memorial Grove outside the BC to partake in yummy food, giggling, socializing, and games. President Trent Cox jumped on a rock and explained to those who don't know--what we are! We had a raffle for a free membership and this years winner was Maddie Tarbox!

2. Play in a Day

Our 24 hour play festival in which one act plays are written, rehearsed, and performed all in twenty four hours. Writers gathered the night before and put their brains to work writing really funny plays for the actors and the costumes they chose. Saturday morning directors and actors met, read the play, and began rehearsing.

We've heard from several sources that this Play in a Day was the most successful yet! AAT loves to hear that! We've also heard from a lot of your peers that it was really quite enjoyable. Several upperclassmen participated, and it was a really great opportunity for networking between classes.

3. Freshman Showcase

This is a new event for AAT. Trent Cox produced, Alax Garner co-produced this showcase of freshmen and new student work. Many performers had songs, but there was also a movement performance, a costume presentation, and several monologues. This event was so cool to attend, and really let us get to know a lot of the new students in our department!


4. Cabaret Nights

This event is yet to take place, but when it does, we hope that it will be well attended! My favorite thing about Cabaret is seeing my friends perform and exhibit passion. I love the passion AAT and the DPA has to offer. So much soul, so much art. Cabaret Nights is this Saturday, September 22nd at 8pm in BC230. I really hope to see a lot of your happy faces either watching or performing!

5. New Play Reading

I am especially excited for this event! Shauna Ross has written a new play, Neverwonderland, and we're stoked to facilitate a reading/talk back to strengthen her work and prepare it for KCACTF submission. We hope Shauna all the best and we hope to see you there!



This year is off to an amazing start! I cannot express how AAT is thriving. We look forward to your involvement and support.



Thank you,
