About FASS

The FASS Theatre Company is serious about having fun -- we're a live cartoon on stage! We've been entertaining UW with variety and musical comedy since 1962, making us UW's longest-operating amateur theatre group. While the most fun occurs in January when over 100 cast and crew rehearse and prepare the show just in time for February, you can join us in our social events all year round!

FASS stands for Faculty, Alumni, Staff and Students. We welcome anyone and everyone and each year we see new friendships created and old ones renewed. If we're not too busy laughing at ourselves in rehearsals, trading jokes at writers meetings or sharing donuts backstage, you'll probably find us going out to a movie or throwing a famous FASS Party!

FASS is still looking for a Producer, Director, and Stage Manager for this year! Applications have been re-opened with the deadline of Friday, June 15th.

If you are interested or know someone who might be great for the job then please feel free to contact the past producer (that's me), past Director (Josh Hoey), or past Stage Manager (Nadia V. Ursacki) for more information about the position.

E-mail your applications to prez at fass.uwaterloo.ca, and should include your reasons for applying, any relevant experience, and any ideas you might have.

Cora: Pirates are real! But the popular image of them is a romanticized fictional construct, and they were in FASS but they weren’t in FASS – I mean they were in FASS shows – characters! – but they weren’t *members* of FASS...

Miss Wigglebottom: Cora...

Cora: And neither were ninjas! Or aliens! And FASS was never *that* rich, or *that* poor, and–

Miss Wigglebottom: Cora, it’s okay! It’s not important.

Cora: Yes it is! It’s wrong, and I have to fix it!

To that end, I announce that applications are now open for the positions of treasurer and chief script writer for 2013. The application deadline is Monday, February 20th at 11:00 pm. Please email your applications to prez at fass dot uwaterloo dot ca complete with why you're interested in the position, your applicable experience and your past involvement in FASS.
