Doane Players The purpose of Doane Players is twofold: to provide a support group for the theatre program of Doane College and encourage interest in the participation and study of theatre. The range of activi- ties varies from acting to scene building, painting, costuming, public- ity, sound, lighting, etc. Theatre involvement provides the opportunity to develop skills and work with others on a common project. Doane Players is open to all students. Advisor: Robin McKercher President: TBA
Doublewide is a highly select group of 12-16 men. The name of the group is derived from the fact that it used to have eight members: a double quartet. Doublewide sings in a variety of a cappella styles (including classical), but focuses on popular styles: doo-wop, vocal jazz, gospel, spirituals, and barbershop. Highly competitive auditions for the group occur each fall and the group rehearses twice a week during the academic year. Doublewide tours twice annually, once with Doane Choir in the late winter and again in the spring with Doane’s jazz choir, Jazz Unlimited. The group has performed in about 15 states over the last decade, and also sang at the NMEA fall music convention in 2005. All se- lected members must also hold membership in Doane Choir or Collegiate Chorale. Membership in the ensemble is a year-long commitment. Musical Director: Kurt Runestad
