Everything's Coming Up Macabre!

Hey all,

I don't know how many people actually read this but for those who have been following us, we have been making a lot of progress this semester. We have produced two fantastic original shows: "You Know What They Say", directed and written by the fabulous Maxie Mettler, as well as "Angels and Demons (and the rest of us)", a song cycle written by the musical genius that is Ben Viagas. The amount of positive feedback we have been getting is overwhelming. In fact, we got a really awesome article in the Ithacan, and if you haven't read it, you can read it here.

So first off, I'd like to make a few announcements about some new and exciting things that are happening next semester (and in the future...)

Also, expect YouTube Clips of "You Know What They Say" as well as "Angels, Demons (and the rest of us)". We know it's taking a while to put up, but we have finals.

 

Now hopefully the mayans won't be right and we won't all die, so in case we do all die and none of this happens, we apologize for a bunch of empty promises.
