R.I.P.

R.I.P members working on their presentation, The Flowering of Friendship, March 2017.
Further information:
R.I.P. FACTS: R.I.P. was designed to fulfill a desire/need for creative oral/interpretive expression within a small group. This led to performing when needed for our Branch. (R.I.P’ers responded every other year in past years.) Other AAUW Branches also have been their audience, not to mention
well-respected community groups. Although R.I.P. became a section in 1977, creative members had already begun performing (along with researching, etc.) as early as ‘ 75. In 1976, to celebrate our Nation’s Bicentennial, they honored our foremothers with a sparkling and enthusiastic mini-Reader’s Theatre.
Recommendations:
-
A fondness for reading quality material;
-
Willingness to “perform” within a small group to a small or possibly larger group (members performed to celebrate our Branch’s 75th birthday in May 2000);
-
Generosity in sharing any talents in writing, literary research, musical abilities, creative ideas for productions within our scope;
-
A sense of humor is a definite plus
