In the Front of House group, we worked to fund our plays. We designed the programs, tshirts and sweatshirts, sold and tracked tickets, and called local businesses to sell ads for the program. We also worked with stage managers to start the show, run intermission, and close the show. It required a lot of organization and responsible, independent work from our group members. It's hard to call adults and ask for ads, to tell audience members to stop talking and turn off their phones, and order thousands of dollars in shirts - but our group pitched in and got it all done!

In the Hospitality group, we made and sold concessions, but it wasn't all about the sugary treats. We researched recipes, found and compared costs of ingredients, and worked hard to make sure we found recipes that could meet a variety of dietary needs. We also worked the concessions table during intermission which wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be. In the words of one Hospitality group member, "mental math happened”.
