Epic Fail




The Mann Show Christmas Party is hereby CANCELED due to the shortage of commitments from Mann Show members.


Only 22 people signed up for the Christmas Bash planned for tomorrow night, vastly less than the minimum number of commitments necessary for the event to take place.


My disappointment with Mann Show has never been greater or more absolute than right now.


Most of the cast and crew who have been involved in previous Mann Show productions have expressed how much they enjoy being involved in a production, working together for the purpose of achieving a common goal, a play that they can be proud of. They have stated how much fun they have while working on a show, and how much they enjoy being part of a company, and sharing the awesomeness of working on the show with their friends in that company.


If this is indeed how everyone in Mann Show feels, than will someone please tell me why the hell no one can commit to showing up to an event which only happens once a year. One that had a great turnout previously, and which was unanimously agreed upon as an excellent good time.


Mann Show events like this Christmas Bash are a way to hold onto all of the great things about being part of a company, even after the show is over.



Nonetheless, this year has seen an all time high level of apathy from Mann Show members when it comes to participating in Mann Show events, and an extremely lacking enthusiasm from Mann Show Officers who have been neglect in planning events in the first place. Such a pathetic display begs the question, "what is the point of having a Drama Club if its own members refuse to participate."


Mann Show is meant to be an organization governed by its members, and the its members are making their opinion loud and clear that they do not care. If that is not the case, now is the time to say so. Speak up and be heard. Demand more from your elected Mann Show officers. Better yet take the initiative into your own hands. Take action. If you are unhappy about this most dismal and unfortunate state of affairs in your club, YOUR COMPANY, than YOU need to do something about it. Prove that you care and that you are ready to be a leader.



That you are willing to do what is necessary to keep this organization, which has done so much for all of us, from dying before our very eyes.
