Executive Board Nominees 2020-21
Presidential Nominees
Heather Umbel
Hello fellow Red Masquers, my name is Heather Umbel and I would like to be your Red Masquers President. For those of you who do not know me well, I am a junior Theater Arts major with a minor in Business. I currently serve as the Red Masquers Sound Chair, and prior to holding this position I worked as the Assistant Sound Chair. Throughout my time in this organization I have learned and grown so much. As someone who entered college never having worked in theater before, I accredit all of my theater related knowledge and experiences to the Red Masquers. Over the last three years, I have had the opportunity to Assistant Stage Manage and Stage Manage multiple productions. I have learned how to operate the sound system and have developed skills as a Sound Designer and Technician. As well, the Red Masquers have helped me establish directing and producing skills through my experiences with the One Acts for Charity this past fall, where I served as a director, and the Spring 2020 Play in a Day, where I worked as the Assistant Producer.

Secretary Nominees
Olivia Scherrer
Hannah Schmidt
My name is Hannah Schmidt and I would like to be nominated for the position of Secretary. Throughout my time with the Masquers I have realized how vital communication is for our program. After all theatrical productions require teamwork and that is only possible through effective communication. Knowing how frustrated and upset everyone can get when they do not know what is going on proves that the position of Secretary is vital. I want to be the Red Masquers Secretary to ensure that we are creating a well informed and positive community within our organization. My overall goal would be to inform fellow Red Masquers and Alumni of any information that they may require. I also plan on holding my fellow members accountable for their jobs and attending crews. Not only that but I would continue to be as active as I can within the organization and would hopefully be someone who people could come to if they had any problems that they want or need advice on.
Historian Nominees
Olivia Donia
My name is Olivia Donia, and I am running for the position of Historian of the Red Masquers. As Historian, I would like to keep a record of all the work we do in the organization. As assistant chair of AD/PR, I already have experience in photographing productions and cataloging them on the website. In the role of historian, I would like to support the board and make sure all of the hard work done by the company goes documented for future Masquers to come, as well as resurrecting the beloved Framed™ tradition. My own journey with the Masquers began when I was a freshman, and the growth both I and the organization have seen in just the short 4 years since then has been something I’d like to document. I’d be honored to serve as the historian for the Masquers in my final year with the company
