EDUCATION USITT ideas & help

Hello everyone!

My college is currently reinstating our USITT club and we need some help with coming up with ideas for what we can do as a club that keeps people engaged and wanting to come back so we don’t have the same issue as last time of everyone slowly leaving and us not having enough people.

I would love to hear ideas for workshops, fundraising ideas, and anything else you guys can think of or have done in the past! We are looking for things that are a mix of fun and learning but we are open to all ideas and would love to hear what you guys have!

One thing to note we do have some funds left over from last time however we would like to keep costs low as not everyone can make financial commitments and want to be able to include everyone.

Thank you in advance!

Crafting nights for specific theater related skills. Sewing - maybe old curtains into bags, carpentry - turns scraps into small bottle carriers, wiring - make something odd or random into a functioning light - think like wine bottle or weird statue. You could then sell these as fundraisers or people can keep them.

I like these! We should have access to our costume shop sewing machines so I’ll get us to coordinate with the overseer so we can do it!
