Musical Theatre Society: Events Coordinator

Musical theatre society has been a big part of university life for me. It has been a consistant outlet for my (stressful) degree. My favourite memories have been choir and participating in galas.

As someone who has always been quite shy and afraid to put myself out there and get involved, the galas and smaller events such as open mics have been a great way to open myself up to new opportunities.

I want to keep ensuring there is a number of well organised events available throughout the year that cater towards all abilities (whether you have been doing MT since you could walk or want to challenge yourself to try something completely new). It is important to me that everyone feels welcome and included and to encourage participation as much as possible.

I would love to find ways to integrate more non-auditioned/anyone who auditions can participate events into the society including continuing on with galas, open mics and more 24 hour musicals. I also wish to encourage more instrumentalists to participate in our events. As events co-ordinator I am interested in exploring ways the society could explore community outreach events, such as performing for charities and local events outside of the university. This would help us to broaden our horizens beyond UCL. 

I hope you will consider voting for me to be your events coordinator. In this role I aim to encourage people to open up to new opportunities within the society, the way that I have been able to. 

Hi everyone! My name is Marilyn and I am thrilled to be running for Events Coordinator.

When I first joined MT soc, I felt very welcomed by friendly committees. Then, I met a lot of incredible and talented members, which made me want to work with them and become more involved in MT soc by joining the committee.

Having participated in multiple events held by MT soc such as the Christmas Cabaret and the Fresher’s Musical, I understand the amount of work and dedication needed to put together a good show. Nevertheless, I am committed to giving my all to organize fun and memorable events for all society members.

With my experience of working as an event assistant, I learnt how to plan events in a professional manner. Being an Academic Rep on UCL’s foundation course and the assistant producer of the Blooms show, Chess, equipped me with communication, organizing, and problem-solving skills, which would be vital for coordinating events.

If I were to be elected as an event coordinator, I would make efforts to accommodate the diverse interests of performers across various musical genres, while also appealing to broader audience. I would bring in new ideas such as medley performances combining different musicals. I am determined to create an atmosphere where members can bond over their passion for musical theatre and ignite the interest of musical theatre among audiences through our events.
