Direct and Interactive Marketing ’26,
Fashion Business Management ’24

That’s what everyone asks. Everyone at our school is so focused on their major, I think people don’t expect there to be a club that puts on large events.

We get students involved in all different aspects of theater: working backstage, directing, costumes, props, and, of course, performing. We’ve been around since 2000. I’ve been musical director for all our shows, and I became president this past spring.

I come from a theater background, and I got involved during my freshman year, in 2022—they were loud and out there at the club fair, wearing feather boas, and I enjoyed that. We were just coming back from Covid, so none of us knew how to put on a show at FIT. The last students who had done it had graduated.

It’s not easy. FIT doesn’t have a program for performing arts, so it’s hard to find dedicated spaces to rehearse, and we don’t have a costume closet. We have to source from outside set companies, thrift clothing, buy items online, and more to produce a good quality show.

We recently put on The Addams Family and Into the Woods. We also do karaoke nights, and every October we host a Rocky Horror Picture Show watch party where we all dress up. Our next show, in December, is a comedy/drama about a mass wedding called Big Love. The women run away from the wedding because they don’t want to get married. It gets a little crazy at the end.
