Chappell Players has initiated a Committee System in order to enhance members' involvement with our theatre organization. Through these committees, members are given a greater range of opportunities to showcase and develop their skills in all aspects of a theatrical production. |
DEI CommitteePurpose: Chappell Players is committed to creating a welcoming space for all our members to reach their full potential in their passion for theatre. The new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee's goal is to create a new position responsible for the improvement of cultural awareness, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and for creating a safe environment for ALL of our new and current members. In the interim until the formation of this position, the committee will be responsible to carry out its basic duties.
Responsibilities: Collaborate to identify areas of improvement: Work to identify and recommend areas for improvement related to DEI strategies in Chappell Players shows, events and our environment. Research for Accessibility in our space: Explore and research ways we can make the Little Theatre and CPTG shows accessible for all communities. Serve as a Liaison: Work alongside with PR Chair in communicating with other organizations on campus Creating Polls and Questionnaires for membership feedback: Responsible for Bi-monthly anonymous polls on our progress as an organization on diversity and inclusion. Future DEI Executive Goals: We recently started this committee and our goal for the end of the year is to develop a new Outreach Executive Board position that will serve as a resource for those in positions who need special assistance, including but not limited to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Office of Disability.

Photo/Video CommitteePurpose: The Photo/Video committee’s main goal is to publicize our shows through videos and document all our fun times in Chappell Players! The committee both films and edits these projects. For each show, we make three videos:
Promo Video: The promo video includes clips from rehearsals along with interviews with key people who worked on the show (director, producer, main actors, stage manager, etc.) Tech Crew Video: This video started to recognize all of the crew behind the scenes that work tirelessly to make sure we all have an amazing show. It typically includes interviews with all the tech crew members and videos of the tech crew working on the show. Audience Reaction Video: After the opening night of the production, we film an audience reaction video. It includes positive reviews of our show from the audience to get more people interested in seeing what all of the hype is about! At the end of the year, we also make a Year in Review Video that includes clips from all of our activities throughout the year! This is shown at our end-of-the-year banquet along with a Bloopers Video. The Photo/Video Committee typically meets once every week/every other week during common hour depending on how much work we have to do. Co-Chairs: Abigail O'Neil & John Castricone See our members!
