———————————
When did you first get involved in the club?
I have been involved with Sock & Buskin since my freshman year.

What activities take place during club meetings?
During club meetings we basically talk about upcoming events that we are hosting. We also inform our members about upcoming Main Stage shows and other ways to get involved with the theatre here. During the holidays we usually have a party during one of our meetings including games and a secret Santa. We also play games during regular meetings sometimes!

Does your club host any events?
We host many events. We participate in Homecoming and usually have a table. We also have a Christmas party, take a trip to New York to see a Broadway show, host a 24-hour play fest, take people to KCACTF [the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival] and host a banquet at the end of the year.

What is your favorite memory in your club?
I don’t know if I have a favorite; all my memories are so good! (I’m sure everyone says that but I mean it, and I’m sure everyone else says that as well but I really mean it.) I always enjoy the end of the year banquet. I’m a sucker for food and fellowship. It’s so nice to get together with everyone who has been involved over the year. We just eat food and goof off and reminisce. And we get to wear fun costumes! Every year it reminds me of the wonderful people I have the opportunity to know through the club and the theatre department.

Why should someone join your club?
Students should join Sock & Buskin because we are the oldest club on campus and it’s cool to say that you’re in the oldest club on campus. It also gives students a great opportunity to meet people outside of their academics. If you do not participate in theatre, then you can join anyway!
