The Constitution:

Positions are as follows: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and 3 Representatives.

There are new rules for membership and voting. As northland college students you automatically qualify for membership but to maintain voting rights you must make a minimum of 2 meetings a semester.

We are working on a more efficient system to access our finances. This will include forms to be filled out each time someone requires Fourth Wall funds.

There will be clear and outlined responsibilities for all officers and anyone involved in a production.

Guidelines for voting on plays.

The constitution is posted on our new website:

The constitution is still a work in progress, we want and need your input to make it better.

…Exciting NEWS!!!!!!

STAGE NORTH!!!!!

That’s right, Stage North will be working intimately with us this year, even allowing us to use their facilities!

We will have shows in their theatre.

They will be putting us on their website.

They have poster makers to make REAL posters, and they have “peeps” to get posters put up everywhere from Duluth to Ironwood.

They are working on getting FREE transport to Washburn for Northland College students.

They are also arranging a tour of Stage North for us.

This year there will be workshops there for tech, director, and stage combat.

Final Thoughts:

We want your ideas for the Fourth Wall. E-mail us, talk to us, stop by townhouse 3, TELL US WHAT YOU WANT!

Evan tells us what he wants. He has ordered The Duck Variations, which is a play done by 2 old men, the rights are $75, and it is about 1-1 ½ hours.
