A huge thank you to all who applied for Theatre Council for the 2024-2025! You made this a tough decision as there were many great ideas and applicants this year. 

Listed below is the Theatre Council list for the 2024-2025 school year:

President: Tessa Osborne 
Vice President: Kate Eberhardt
Secretary: Alyssa Read
Historian: Leah Memmott
Publicity: Kendra Jones 
AVO/Outreach: Shelby Betenson 
Financial Chair: Ainsley Cardall
Improv Captain: Kason Seamans 
Sophomore Rep: Hallee Wasden 

Congrats to our new council! I ask that all members of the Alta Theatre Family support their peers in this decision.  If you did not make it onto council this time, know you are still amazing and a lot of great candidates applied.  If you would like more direct feedback on what to work on in the future, please feel free to email me over the next week.  

For all new AND old council members, there will be a banquet planning meeting Friday, May 3rd from 3-4pm in the Green Room of the PAC. This will directly follow SDOA rehearsals.  Additionally, all NEW council members (and returning) I will be in touch ASAP on a date to be measured for sweaters so we can get those sent off- please be flexible as I am awaiting a response on a time and date.  If you are a returning member, BRING YOUR SWEATER THAT DAY! I will have Tessa Osborne reach out and make a group chat for the new council members.  Thank you all and I love you (appropriately)! :)

High School Musical Theatre Awards 2024

Hey all!

If you are one of the ones attending the HS Musical Awards at the Eccles this Saturday (May 4th), the show begins at 7pm.  Please know it is a dress-up nicely event and people like to get fancy, so have fun getting dressed-up to the nines! :) Remember, there is no bus going, so you will need to get yourself to and from the venue. You can drive (parking at City Creek is the cheapest option) or ride trax too! 

Those who are acceptors, Slade and Jaycey, have a meeting at 4pm at the Eccles, and I know would love if some of you want to grab dinner after the meeting and before the show around City Creek. Feel free to reach out to them to coordinate. 

You need to meet in the Eccles lobby by NO LATER than 6:30pm to receive your ticket from Ruby Gardner.  If you need her number please email her by 8pm on FRIDAY NIGHT and she will send it your way so you can coordinate pickup for your ticket. Her email is: rgar4831@csddocs.org 

The potential plan for some is to meet at Crescent View Station of TRAX at 4:00pm to ride up - you will need a few dollars for a ticket if you want to ride trax. Please reach out to Ruby the night before if you'd like to join them. :) 

Again, please reach out if you have questions BY FRIDAY NIGHT.  Saturday is a bit crazy for myself and Ruby and we will not be checking email. Thank you!
