Salem State University theatre students Nick Palenchar, Grace Healy and Jacqui Amrich know that part of being serious about theatre is knowing what is the latest theatre news, what's being produced, what's being written. Together they created the Playbook Club, which has been meeting since October, reading a new play every two weeks, and meeting weekly. The plays selected are modern and contemporary, with well known playwrights, or emerging writers including: Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire, The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh, In the Blood by Suzan Lori Parks, Dinner with Friends by Donald Margulies, and Dog Sees God by Bert V. Royal. The plays are re-sold on Amazon, making the finances of the group self-sufficient, especially with the additional selling of concessions at theatre performances. Want to join them?

What about the Music Society which started from scratch by 8 or so outstanding music students in September which already has created Open Mic Nights, Euphony (Concert) Nights, Holiday Caroling where they carol at SSU, nursing homes, hospitals, and schools, Featured Student Concerts where original works from up and coming musicians are played, a Pep Band to cheer on the sports teams, an ensemble band to play for events like SSU's Military Support Groups Vet's Day event, International Music Festival where music from other cultures will be performed while tasting their food, Music Movie Nights, will be doing Rocky Horror in October, and a number of other events in the making? What about them?
