Just a quick update — Anton Markov has been selected as Tech Director! Now Stage Manager is the only empty space on Committee. Remember, applications for SM are open only as long as it's May.

Greetings FASSies!
We have selected our producers and director for FASS 2014. The show will be produced by Lily Horne and Katey Bender, and will be directed by Anna Kreider.
With the Director selection complete, we're ready to announce a deadline for the Stage Manager. Please send any stage manager applications to me before 11:59pm on Friday, May 31, 2013. (This is a very easy deadline to remember. Is it still May? If so, you can still apply for SM. Is it not May anymore? No? Too late!)
Also, FASS will have a booth in Vendor's Alley (near Wasabi and Campus Bubble) in the Student Life Centre from 10:00am to 3:00pm tomorrow and Friday. Swing by and say hi!
Cheers,
Michael L. Davenport

Hey FASSies! Three quick announcements.
In case you didn't hear already, the theme for FASS 2014 is Armageddon. If you're interested in coming to a writers meeting, the two upcoming meets are on Tuesday, April 30 and Thursday, May 9 in HH 119, 7pm-9pm. Also, the writer's wiki is at http://fass-2014.wikispot.org/.
As always, you can see who is on committee here: http://www.fass.uwaterloo.ca/2014/committee
A reminder that the deadline for Director, Tech Director, and Producer applications is 11:59pm on Sunday, April 28, 2013. That's tomorrow. Please send all applications to me. You will get confirmation that your application was received.
Thanks!

Hello everyone! FASS is looking to fill these three important committee positions. We're looking for a Producer, Director, and Tech Director for FASS 2014, The End of the World / Armageddon / Disasters.
If you're interested, email an application to me before 11:59pm on Sunday, April 28, 2013.
You might be asking yourself, "What do these people do?" I'll tell you!The Producer is in charge of everything to do with "selling" the show. Making and distributing posters, making the programs, making the merchandise (shirt, showbook, DVDs). Don't feel constrained to what's been done before . your end goal is to fill the theatre. The key here is DELEGATION. The producer is really, really important. Possibly the most important position on committee. If I'm walking with you on the street and a bus is hurtling toward us, I'm going to push you out of the way. If you have any questions about what it is to be a producer, contact our past producers: Kelsey Burton and Joscelyn Alexander.
The Director is in charge of bringing the show to life on stage, in every respect. The acting, the choreography, the music . those are all your babies. The good news is you get to break up and DELEGATE those responsibilities as you see fit. Know nothing about music? Appoint a Music Director. Know nothing about dancing? Appoint a choreographer. Want an acting coach to exist? Appoint one, and it exists. "Bringing the show to life" is a big job, and you can appoint director's staff and divvy that job up however you want. Or you could do it all yourself. (Note: That's a joke. Don't try to do everything yourself. BAD IDEA.) Importantly, you get to choose the Stage Manager from a short list prepared by Committee. Questions? Email our past director Christos Lolas.
Writers sometimes create challenges. Techies rise to solve those challenges. Tech Director is the Baron(ess) of the Techies. If the script calls for a Tardis, or a helicopter to descend from the sky, or a giant insect, it's the job of you and your army (DELEGATE!) to combine light, sound, cardboard, and sweat such that it happens. All technical things (including costumes and makeup) fall under your perview. The past Tech Director Chris Alexander can tell you more.
Hmm, seems there's a common theme running through my description of all three positions. (DELEGATE!)
One last note: applications for Stage Manager are also open, however there's no deadline as of right now. But there is a deadline for the other three positions! Again, please email applications for Producer, Director, and Tech Director to me before 11:59pm on Sunday, April 28, 2013.
Thank you,
Michael L. Davenport
