Our Executive Board
Our Exec consists of nine students and members of Players! Each member was elected by the club to perform their job's tasks due to their experience, passion, and personality.
If you have any questions about Players, UR, or theater in general, feel free to reach out to any exec member.

Artistic Director
Maddi Lewis (she/her)
My role is artistic director, so I have a lot of the same roles as the president of a club would. I’ve been involved in theatre since first grade, and it has been the love of my life ever since! I also got to perform for Jonathan Groff once.

Student-Faculty Liaison
Alex Broening (he/him)
I'm Alex Broening, a junior at UR, and as the student-faculty liaison for URPlayers, I get to be the point of communication and coordination between the faculty and the organization. I'm really excited to help promote lots of good collaboration between faculty and students this coming year, and help out making sure our student theater productions run smoothly! In theater more generally I am a lighting designer, and love creating work for dance especially.
