Hey! My name’s Marissa Dworken, and I am so incredibly excited to be your 2018-2019 ACT President!! In this position, I am in charge of boosting the clubs’ morale with monthly morale events, which are huge get-togethers with super fun themes, as well as working as the head of the morale committee. Even though I oversee the whole club, I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you :). If you have any questions, suggestions, input, or just wanna talk, don’t hesitate to message me, my phone number is (516) 458-1255! Communication is key to being a supportive, interconnected club, as well as showing all the club can offer to the community :) (Facebook Name: SnowWhiteandthe SevenDworks)

Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Zelin and I couldn't be more excited to be your Vice President for the 2018-2019 school year! My job around here is to make our ACT apparel (which I plan on making as cool as possible) and to advertise our club, including who we are and what we do. This consists of commercials and posters for upcoming shows, using our social media, making show shirts, and spreading the word about the amazing work we do around here. I'm really looking forward to the year ahead and can't wait to see everyone get involved! This year is going to be a great one! (Facebook Name: Zelin DeGeneres)

Hey everyone!! I’m Victoria Shapiro and I’m so excited to be this year’s Secretary!! As secretary I will be creating all of our handouts and newsletters, keeping track of both attendance and ITS points, and organizing the decorations in the Little Theater. If you would like to help out or share your ideas regarding decorations please don’t hesitate to talk to me because I would love to hear them! You could usually find me backstage as a techie!! I can’t wait for all the amazing things this year has in store, and I’m even more excited to be sharing them with you all. If you have any questions at all, please reach out!!

Hey everyone! My name is Danielle Nodelman and I am so excited to be this year’s ACT Treasurer! As treasurer, it is my job to consider all of ACT’s financial activities from our fundraising events to costume and set design costs for our productions as well as to keep the club’s balance in check. I am in charge of the Fundraising Committee, which works to raise enough money for our club to have amazing productions and keep all of our equipment updated. If you have ideas for fundraising and are a creative, determined person, or you just want to get involved, think about joining the Fundraising Committee! My goal is to make fundraising FUN— and with you, this can be possible! This is a great way to get involved and to make a tremendous difference in our club. If you have any questions about ACT, high school, or just want to chat, feel free to come talk to me!!! I’m really looking forward to everything in store for this year and to meeting all of our new members!(Facebook Name: Danielle Nodelman)

Hi guys I'm Hope Shapiro and I'm so excited to be ACT's Techie VP for this school year. I basically oversee the backstage aspects of the club, which include runcrews, build, and the props committee. If you enjoy building sets, and working backstage for different productions we put on feel free to come talk to me. I'm so excited for all the shows and events we are doing this year and if anyone has questions about absolutely anything, please feel free to ask! (Facebook Name: Snapchat Streaks)

Hey guys! I'm Brooke Turell and I am thrilled to be this school year's Historian for ACT! As Historian I am in charge of the yearbook committee. I take photos and videos for most shows and events we host as a club, I made this website, and I create the ACT yearbook for the end of the year. I encourage everyone to get involved in taking photos for the club because it is a great way to stay involved plus its fun! I will be hosting workshops on camera usage throughout the year for anyone who needs a helping hand in taking photos or just wants to get better! If anyone wants to help take photos or videos this year please come to me!! Or if you have any questions about being in ACT or about high school in general don't hesitate asking me or any of the seniors. I can't wait to get started with this school year and to see/meet you all soon!! (Facebook Name: Brooke Purell)

Hello lovelies!!! I’m Gabrielle Bieder (but you can all call me Gabs or Gabby!!!!)- I’m your Community Service Coordinator, and I am beyond excited for all the amazing fun we’re going to have making a difference in the world! For those of you who don’t know me- I cannot wait to get to know all of you and become great friends! I want you all to know that I am ALWAYS here to help or talk about anything- my number is 516-603-6849. Please don’t be afraid to reach out about anything or just to talk. My most important goal for this year is to focus on kindness! As CSC, I’m in charge of all things community service related. I’m head of CS committee (which I hope you all join!!!), I plan all the CS events, connecting our shows to charities, and make sure ACT is always giving back. We will have one CS event each month (and a bunch more to do each month), and I truly hope to see you all there. You’ll all be put on a team and everyone will compete the whole year to win CS olympics! Let’s go! Let’s remember why we do what we do and have a blast helping others! ACT is my home, and I can’t wait to make it yours too. Much love- XOXOXOXOXOXO
