Active Membership
According to the FUBS Constitution, "all undergraduate students of Fordham University, in good academic standing, are eligible for membership". To become an Active Member, and be eligible to vote, you must have participated in at least one Backstage event in the last 12 months, where you were not already a member of that production. You must work on a production at which you had no prior obligation to work.
i.e. If you are a member of the cast, production team, or creative team for a production, that production does not make you eligible for membership.
i.e. If you are on the Creative Team or Cast for a TOP Show, and then help film an FET show, that FET show does make you eligible for membership.
Please refer to the FUBS Constitution for details, or contact us to check your membership status.
