Harlequin Musical Theatre Group
In my time here at MCLA, I have had the pleasure of working with the Harlequin Musical Theatre Group each and every semester. In the Fall Semester of each academic school year, Harlequin puts together a muscial revue dinner night. This serves as a fundraiser to aid in the purchasing the performing rights for a full scale musical in the spring smester.
I have had the pleasure of performing in each musical revue in my time here. The roles that I performed as were

In the spring semester, Harlequin puts together a full length musical picked by the students. The active members also vote and pick who they think is most qualified to direct the musical. I have had the pleasure of playing two major roles with Harlequin including
Spring 2010
-Burrs in the Wild Party (Directed by Michael Gerry)
Spring 2012
-Orin Scrivello D.D.S. (The Dentist) in Little Shop of Horrors (Directed by Annie Hoccheiser and Jessica Attanas)
My sophomore year here at MCLA, I also had the honor to be elected as Harlequins Treasurer for the acadmeic year of 2010-2011. Durring my time as Treasurer, I learned vital skills including how to effectively work with a budget (Harlequin's opperating budget durring my tenure as Treasurer was around $15,000), how to work effectively and efficiently with others, and how to plan large scale events. One of the final events planned for the final semester I was Harlequin's Treasurer was a trip to New York City to see the Broadway muscal "Catch Me If You Can." This was a hugely succesful trip with 25-30 people in attendance.
