The rule to limit space share productions to 90 minutes stems from the desire to stay within the smaller allotted PAC budget and to ensure each group in the space share gets their needed hours. Singers has never once come close to exceeding our share of the 60 hours, and has created a collaboration agreement with a group that understands and is content with our arrangement. For this reason, we, the members of Penn Singers Light Opera Company, believe we should be allowed to produce our musical this fall. It is one of the shorter existing ensemble-based, classically oriented musicals, yet exceeds 2 hours because thus is the nature of all such shows.
I have been meeting with the department heads to explain that our collaboration agreement solves the scheduling issues they originally cited. They are still hesitant to budge on the timing rules but the sheer amount of support from our peers is making them listen closer than before.

Seeing this level of support for Singers makes me realize how many of you value the art we create as much as I do. We have enough momentum now to show the administration that our fall production is not just a show but a necessity for our community.

This is ridiculous. The group already has an agreement in place so why is the school making it so hard to put on a good production. let the students actually do their jobs.

90 minutes is way too short for a real musical. half the fun is the second act and the big finale. let them perform the full show!
