Celia
- TA Event: Raised $1,236.29! What a haul!
- Aryeh & Idine owe $33. Joe McLaughlin owes $20.
- BUSTies pitches are next week!
- One Acts pitches are also happening.
- TA Event was stressful due to how soon it was in the semester (we lost a week off the schedule). Event itself ran well, if a little long. Ultimately successful.
Joe

- Make sure Laramie's t-shirt orders are in by the end of this week.
- One Acts Pitches/Summer Show Pitches -- how much are rights for the show?
