The Penn State Thespian Society is happy to announce our head production staff for our annual charity cabaret, MasquerAIDS! We are also excited to announce our 2024 theme: The Nature of Love! ❤️🌹
—
Since the spring of 2002, we hold an annual benefit concert named MasquerAIDS (typically shortened to MAIDS) to raise money for the Centre County AIDS Resource Alliance, an organization based in Centre County that raises funds and awareness in the fight against AIDS. We are proud to take part in an important discussion that branches our university and organization into the State College community. MAIDS showcases all aspects of theatre, including acting, singing, and dancing, all blended together in a medley revolving around a central theme.

The new THON chairs and myself have been catching up with both our families, The McHughs and the Illicetes, and they're doing great! Mary and Theresa had mentioned that they would love to hear from some alumni and members! Please let us know if you would be interested in doing a zoom call with the Illicetes and/or the McHughs. Mary also said that if anyone would like to post an update, they are welcome to post on the All About Theresa page! Hopefully we can get a video call with each of our families before the start of school!

I am so pleased to follow the PSU Thespians. I was inducted in the '80's and performed in The Boys From Syracuse, Guys & Dolls and Anything Goes. In addition I performed with Men's Glee Club, Orchesis Dance Company, State College Community Theatre and University Resident Theatre Company before embarking on a professional career in the theatre in my 20's and 30's. I made some great friends in the Thespians, some unfortunately no longer with us. However, I have great memories of rehearsals & productions. All the best to you current members.
Is there anyone on exec board in town for the summer?
I'm wondering what folks think about adding an In Memorium section in the programs to honor Penn State Thespians who have died recently. You could get the information from the Penn Stater. Eight of our members are listed as passed in the current issue.
Guys PSA Broadway has ripped off Connor's masterpiece. Please join in the fight to take down the competition.
Assuming that the tradition of the Robe still stands, is the paragraphed used to introduce the Robe and/or list of recipients available anywhere online? Ditto for the Banner, assuming same.
