Dear Labbies,
Today is the last day of the UNC fiscal calendar, marking the official conclusion to the 18/19 season. This season featured three world premieres and three breathtaking interpretations of published plays, and I’m so excited to close this extraordinary season of theatre with the announcement of our updated mission statement! As the oldest student theatre company at UNC, LAB! has evolved tremendously since its founding in 1982. As you may or may not already know, to keep up with LAB!’s rapidly changing needs, our constitution was rewritten at the end of the 17/18 season. During this time of revision, it was brought to our attention that LAB! lacked a mission statement that’s relevant to our company as it exists today. We knew to ensure LAB!’s continued success, we needed an updated statement that represented our long-established values, but it also needed to be flexible enough to survive many more years of evolution. This sparked a season long conversation amongst our 18/19 board to determine what kind of company we see ourselves as now, and what kind of company we want to become in the future. These discussions revealed a myriad of perspectives in regards to LAB!’s identity, as well as diverse aspirations for LAB!’s future. Despite variations in everyone’s personal philosophies, we discovered that when it comes to LAB! ideology, there are two universal truths. (1) LAB! has always, and will always, strive to provide undergraduate students at UNC with a platform to create theatre. (2) LAB! is committed to making theatre accessible and will always provide the community with admission to our work free of charge. Tomorrow is the start of the 19/20 season, which also means it’s the start of mine and Rob’s final season with LAB!. Throughout our time as Executive Directors, I’ve kept a list of all the things I wanted us to create for LAB! prior to graduation. While I certainly have some small passion projects left to keep me busy during the upcoming season, finalizing LAB!’s mission statement was the last big thing I had left for us to give. Now that we can mark this project as complete, I’m finally at peace (I think) with the fact that it’s time to start preparing to graduate. I’m looking forward to one more season of creating theatre with this incredible community, and I cannot wait to see how this mission is embraced through the work of the 19/20 season. #LiveLoveLAB! -- Samantha Yancey Executive Director of LAB!
