She is mainly focusing on Stage Management, which is pretty much the love child of two of her passions: theatre and working with other people. She enjoys listening to obscure showtunes, The Office, the color turquoise, Chi Omega, great conversation, cheesecake, Jews, people who make her laugh, long walks on the beach, and JTE. But especially cheesecake.

Being a Chosen Person, as well as being chosen by the Chosen People Theatre Ensemble, Michael considers himself thrice chosen. As a starving director/actor, Michael maintains his meager lifestyle working as a barista, thus solidifying his place in the world as a walking cliché.

Marc is a journalism major with a film and media studies minor (c/o 2011). He hails from Los Angeles, hometown to a wide variety of Jews. Most of his time goes into theatre extracurriculars, which he realizes won’t help his resume if his major is journalism, but he still does it anyway because he loves it. He's extremely excited about next year's season, and can't wait to produce!
