Secretary: Samantha Doolittle ’14
Email: secretary@mhcprojecttheatre.org
Sam is an English and theatre double major from Massachusetts, and she is proud to be serving her second year as secretary of the board! Her passionate love affair with Project: Theatre began her very first semester at Mount Holyoke and has since blossomed into a torrid romance in which she sends out emotionally-charged e-mails to the membership on an unusually frequent basis. (It’s all that theatre love, it can’t be stopped!) When she’s not busy talking loudly with her hands, making frighteningly ugly faces, or devouring copious amounts of poetry, she can be found eating embarrassingly large amounts of gummy bears. She also has an unhealthy obsession with cat videos, Law and Order: SVU, and Shania Twain.
Ombudsperson: Erin Syring ’13

Treasurer: Liz Baker ’15
Email: treasurer@mhcprojecttheatre.org
Liz is a Film Studies major and English minor. Somehow, completely without meaning to, she fell into Project Theatre her first semester at Mount Holyoke and hasn’t been able to get out since. She is entirely too enthusiastic about many things, but mostly Project Theatre. Liz is thrilled this year to spread that enthusiasm as much as she can as PT’s Treasurer. Her life outside PT includes running on the varsity cross country team, editing video, reading things she does not have time to, and dancing like no one’s watching. She is currently in love with Renaldo and does not understand why others don’t feel the same.
