And the verdict is...

Accompanied by plates of pasta and formalwear, FYP members new and old ventured to the Spaghetti Warehouse in Syracuse to hear one of the most exciting announcements of the year for the organization. Curiosity plagued staffers as they sat in wait for the big news.

The annual FYP Show Reveal dinner was this Sunday, and attendees enjoyed one another's company (and some awesome food) before watching a skit put on by this year's E-board to reveal the show they chose. In the skit, E-board members, each representing one the six final shows (and some frauds), duked it out in a competition of winner-takes-all. At the end, after a deceiving fake-out, the victorious show was the only one left standing.

It is then that the agony of wait was ended for those staff members who are not part of the executive board. The show was revealed, and members cheered and applauded for the decision – this April, FYP will be putting on The Addams Family!

We are beyond thrilled about the decision, and think that it will make for a more than positive experience for all the staff, cast, pit, and crew members!

For those unfamiliar with the show, The Addams Family opened on Broadway in 2010 and was created by the writers of Jersey Boys. It tells the story of a grown-up Wednesday Addams and her decision in a potential suitor, and the family drama that ensues. The ghoulish scenery is offset by comedic characters and fun, upbeat musical numbers.

Although we can't wait to get the ball rolling with preparations for the show, we're already anticipating the arrival of new FYP members that will be joining us next semester!

That's one good-lookin' E-board!

If you're interested in hearing more about how you can be involved with the show, our general interest meeting will be held this Wednesday, September 24th at 7:30pm in Bowne 111. We'll be doling out important information about workshops that will be held throughout the semester, info for those interested in joining stage crew, and giving you an idea of what it's like to be a part of FYP. You don't want to miss it!

Until then, have a FREAKishly great week. From our Family to yours.
