stage plays plus an annual Follies in the
ballroom. In addition, the club produces
two smaller-venue plays in the Atrium.

not the only people important to the group.

and non-stage assignments are equally
important. Set designers, set builders, cos-
tume designers, seamstresses, makeup
experts, lighting and sound technicians,
advertising and marketing creators and
illustrators, and those who create, acquire
and move props and set decoration are
all mandatory for successful productions.
