Snug Slug Activities

Saturday night I went to the Sauk Theatre Annual Business Meeting.

Those of you who have been to business meetings before may currently be thinking that that does not sound like a fun night out, but actually it’s an event that I try not to miss.

I have a long history with the Sauk. I worked stage crew for my first show back in 2010 and did 30-some shows with them from 2010 to 2017. I had a variety of roles, from running the lights to being onstage to being a playwright. It was a huge part of my teen and young adult years and fundamentally changed who I am as a person and how I see the world.

While the above is certainly enough to make me want to support them, it is not the main reason I go to the annual meeting. At the Sauk Annual Meeting it is more than just business; they break up the meeting with performances from the previous year’s shows, as well as a sneak peek of the first show of the coming year.

It’s hard to be bored by budget reviews when they are sandwiched between a comedic interrogation and a thrilling musical number.

This does mean it is the longest business meeting that I attend all year; last night’s ran for 2 hours and 45 minutes.

All in all, a very fun night out.
