Calling all Fine Arts majors and those who just love theatre, art, music and dance: UTM is proud to present the National Theatre Honor Society, Rho Gamma Chapter of Alpha Psi Omega.
“We are here to promote the arts, not just theatre,” said Stephanie Kink, a senior Fine and Performing Arts major. Klink is the current president of the Rho Gamma chapter.
This society is not just for Fine Arts majors, but is open to all majors at UTM. Those who are interested can contact a member of the society, the president or the vice president. Cody Jarman, a junior Fine and Performing Arts major, is the current vice president and can be reached by email at coddjarm@ut.utm.edu.
Potential members will receive an invite once they have completed the point system.
“Potential members receive an invitation to join after they have reached 75 points. We do inductions at least twice a year,” said Klink.
A potential member of the chapter can earn points in many ways, such as by attending workshops, taking upper division theatre and music classes or participating in a Vanguard Theatre production. Those who would like more information about earning points should contact Matt Caldwell, a senior Fine and Performing Arts major at matccald@ut.utm.edu. He is the current points officer.
The chapter is also interested in traveling for the arts.
“We actually took a field trip to go see Les Miserables last week,” said Klink. Although the trips are primarily for Alpha Psi Omega members, other students may attend upon invitation.
The chapter just participated in auditions on Sept. 16-17 for the upcoming Vanguard production Fools written by Neil Simon. It will be the first production to be performed in the newly renovated Fine Arts Building.
The club will be hosting several workshops in the upcoming months. These workshops are to be announced. For more information on Alpha Psi Omega, contact president Stephanie Klink at stemklin@ut.utm.edu.
