ON NOVEMBER 15TH THE THEATER HONORS SOCIETY, ALPHA PSI OMEGA,
HELD ITS FIRST EVER LIP SYNC BATTLE. THE LIP SYNC BATTLE DREW IN
STUDENTS ALL OF MAJORS AND HELPED OUT AN ORGANIZATION IN THE
COMMUNITY AS WELL. THE ORGANIZATION RAISED FUNDS FOR THE
SAFEHOUSE CRISIS CENTER IN PITTSBURG, HELPING THEM GET THE
SUPPLIES THEY NEEDED…

“Pitt State Theatre does this cool thing where every year they team up with a
different organization and so this semester's organization is the Safehouse Crisis
Center and so that's the organization that we decided to do this for and we got some
money and a decent amount of supplies and those are all going straight to them.”
THE LIP SYNC BATTLE INCLUDED STUDENTS OF ALL DIFFERENT
MAJORS, AND EVEN ONE PROFESSOR. THE STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO
PERFORM EITHER AS A SOLO ACT, OR WITH PARTNERS. THE LIP SYNC
PERFORMANCES RANGED FROM COMEDIC TO SOULFUL, AND GAVE
STUDENTS THE CHANCE TO UNLEASH THEIR INNER PERFORMER, AND HAVE
FUN WHILE DOING IT.

“Performing on stage was incredible, I’ve done theatre my whole so I’m used to it
but I've never been on that stage before. It was an incredible experience and I’d love to
do it again.”
THE LIP SYNC BATTLE HAD ALMOST TEN ACTS TO CHOOSE FROM, AND
THE TOP THREE WOULD EACH GET A PRIZE, WITH PRIZES RANGING FROM
LOCAL PRODUCTS TO HOTEL STAYS. THE STUDENTS COULD ALSO ENTER A
RAFFLE TO RECEIVE PRIZES AS WELL. OVERALL, THE NIGHT WAS SEEN AS A
SUCCESS, AND HOPEFULLY SOMETHING THEY CAN CONTINUE TO PUT ON…
Katia Arians
“Yeah, it was a surprise this is the first time we’ve ever done it, uh, we definitely
want to do it some more. We’re talking about maybe even trying to do it next semester
as well to keep the hype up and I'd love to see it like packed and get as much help as
we can for them.”
MCKENZIE VANMEERHAEGHE, FOR CAPS 13 NEWS.
