HELP NEEDED: RIC Open House November 7

 


Hello,  Theatre Majors -- 

On November 7 RIC is hosting an Open House for prospective students and their families.

We are going to need people to man the Theatre table for a couple of hours. (The event will run from about 2-4pm.)

Jessica Pearson and a couple of students will be at the Dance table, but Casey Seymour Kim cannot be there, so we need people who can talk about the Theatre programs.

If we get 2-3 students, people can tag-team if they can't be there the entire time.

Please let Casey Seymour Kim know by emailing jwalrad1@ric.edu or casey.seymourkim@gmail.com.

Thank you, Everyone!
