Celine Man
she/her/hers
Member at Large
Celine is a 2nd year drama student, who is very stoked for the year ahead. Celine may be found talking to people on the fourth floor which she thinks is quite fun, or just casually sitting down elsewhere. She is so excited to be this year’s Member At Large and is ready to help make an excellent space. She’s ready to bring the energy every Friday meeting, and usually is pretty energetic, even though she doesn’t like coffee or do yoga. She hopes to be someone the members of mts can rely on for anything, whether its questions about the club or just questions in general! She is ready to help people, and ready to help build a great environment for mts!
Achilles Friesen
they/them/theirs
Music Director / Social Media Coordinator
Achilles Friesen is a fourth-year drama and philosophy student whose laughter can be commonly heard ringing loudly through the halls of the fourth floor. As Music Director, Achilles is motivated to help everyone find confidence in their voice, and help redefine gender constructs and stereotypes within the realm of Musical Theatre. Stepping away from the idea of 'male' vs 'female' voices, Achilles is excited to bring more gender-neutral terms into our musical theatre vocabulary, and help members prepare their voices for any character they feel a connection with, not just the ones they’re told they can play. You can hear more from Achilles through their posts on our MTS instagram, or from their updates and responses on our brand new website!
