Letter to Alumni

Hello Everyone
I hope you are all well and doing what makes you happy! I am loving
seeing the VT leaves change this spectacular fall weekend.
NEYT hired me this month to begin doing publicity and marketing for
them, which is really fun and wonderful and creative and such a
blessing, but it also gets me into the office to advocate for Alumni
events etc.

ORGANIZING
I have heard there were whispers this summer of officially organizing
the NEYT alumni association and I am so down with that and will do
whatever I can to help facilitate it. I would love for us to all get
together this winter between x-mas and when people go away again, so
we can chat about actually organizing our group, what might come over
the summer, and if there are other things we'd like to do as alumni -
like offer a college chat for current NEYTers (formal or informal) or
maybe offer a weekend of workshops to share the new skills we've
picked up in the big wide world.

DIRECTING
I want to say something about the alumni show this coming summer too -
we have 3 weekends if we want them - all in June and 2 during the
camps! but, I really want to encourage all of you fresh new alumni to
seriously think about directing. Alex, Nick, Kara, Sam, Ben, Me and
probably others that I've forgotten to mention, got our start
directing over the summers at NEYT - either our peers or NEYT students
when there weren't enough peers to be cast! Dont be shy, if you have
an idea but you've never directed before, don't worry! There are
plenty of people who are more than willing to mentor and guide you
along through the process.

GET-TOGEHTER
So, if any of you would like to organize a winter gathering - at NEYT
or at your house - let me know!

BLOGGING
Also, if you have new news about what you're doing, I'd love to post
it on the NEYT Alumni Blog, so send links to things like news articles
of what you've been in and I will post it to the blog!

MISSING
If I have not sent this to someone who needs it, please forward it
along and CC me so I can have their address or their NEW address.

Ok, I suppose that's all.
Take care!
Jess
