MTAA Feb 2009 Newsletter

Hello Theater Alums!!

We have some big announcements, so lets get right to it!

- Our website has been launched - http://matawantheateralumni.org. Huge thanks to Dorothy for the beautiful web work! Though its still under construction, it will soon be a place for all things MTAA, so check it out! We're also rolling out matawantheateralumni.org email addresses for the newsletters and staff members, so add us to your email's "Safe List"

- Our Alumni Show - "Matawan Legends" - is off and running! Anyone interested in getting involved in any way please get in touch with us! Anyone & Everyone is invited to get involved - no matter where you are, how much time you have to give, or where your interests may be, we can use your help. Actor, singer, musician, crew, marketing, sales, artists, staff,.... you name it, we can use it. Email us at info@matawantheateralumni.org.

- There will be a "Legends" Interest Meeting this Saturday (7-9pm at 16 Donna Place, Aberdeen) for anyone with questions, etc. Or, you can email us at info@matawantheateralumni.org or contact one of us personally. It is not mandatory for you to attend the meeting to get involved, but please do get in touch with us so we know to keep you in mind!

- For anyone looking to submit an act for "Matawan Legends" please note that the Preferred Consideration Deadline has been pushed back to Feb 15th, and the Line-up Announcement to Feb 23rd. This way, you can attend the Interest Meeting or email us more questions before submitting.

- In non-Legends news, we are getting started on our Matawan Theater Archive! We're looking for any and all Theater related materials, at the HS & MS levels. Programs, posters, videos, photos, we want it all! We will gladly take copies/scans/etc of any originals you don't want to give up. Even something as simple as helping us fill in our list of shows would be a huge help! Contact Archive@matawantheateralumni.org for more.

- We're want your opinions! What can we be doing to help you out? Is there anything else you'd like to see us doing as a group? Certain events or activities you'd enjoy? Let us know! We're only a few months old and still growing - we want to make sure we're serving you the best ways possible!



And, as always - Remember, word of mouth is our best advertising! Tell your friends to check out the website and sign up on the membership list.

Thank you all again for your interest in our group! You cannot fathom the depth of love we have for each of you ;-)
Love,
Kate & the MTAA Board
