Executive Producers - [email protected]
Neil Outarsingh
Meet Neil! He's a senior studying Neurobiology who one day aspires to be a physician. To Neil, Humorology is the ideal combination of creativity, side-splitting antics, and collaboration for an admirable cause. For these reasons and many more, he could not be more thrilled to be one of this year’s Executive Producers. Working closely with the rest of the board, he intends to guide Humo to unprecedented heights. Ever the performer, a few of Neil’s favorite Humo memories include singing with a group that won “Best A Cappella”, stumbling his way through dance breaks with two left feet, and meeting some of the astoundingly brave kids of the Badger Childhood Cancer Network. In his free time, Neil can be found socializing at the library, shouting at the Cubs through his TV screen, or convincing his friends why The Beatles are the best band of all time. He is incredibly excited to see the shows that all the casts come up with, and to work with the entire organization to produce the best year of Humorology yet!

Leah Kramer
Meet Leah! She's a junior studying Journalism and Mass Communications with a certificate in Criminal Justice. However, while those are her ~official~ majors, Leah would also claim she is double majoring in Humorology with a certificate in #ftk. Leah has been involved with Humo since freshman year and has graced the stage as Rabbi Rosenberg and Text #2. Her favorite parts of Humo are watching a show come together and seeing a cast go from strangers to best friends. Leah will constantly remind you that Humo is the best part of Wisconsin, and that this campus is full of such creative and talented people who deserve to be on Broadway. When she’s not doing that, you can probably find Leah thinking about breakfast food or binge watching movie trailers on YouTube. She is incredibly excited to take on the role of one of this year’s Executive Producers and to work with the rest of the board and each cast to make this year the best it can be!

Samantha Wynn
Meet Samantha! She is one of this year's Executive Directors! Sam is a senior studying Environmental
Sciences with an emphasis in policy. Samantha has participated in musical theatre all her life, ranging from endless summer camps to school shows and multiple performances in New York and Philadelphia. Samantha’s love for Humo started eight years ago when she saw her older sister, a freshman at UW-Madison, perform in a Humorology show. Immediately, Humo had Sam hooked. Since then, Samantha has returned each year to either witness or participate in Humorology. Her first year as a cast member she received “Best Female Lead” for her lead performance as Barbie. Sam then directed her sophomore year and lead the “Best Acapella” of the year. She could not be more excited to start this year off as a part of the Executive Board! Being the Executive Director, Samantha hopes her extensive and well-rounded background in both musical theatre and Humorology will help casts produce their best possible work for the year! She is ready to collaborate with teams, offer any/all support, raise A TON of money, and most importantly: HAVE FUN #FTK. |
Trevor Ross
Meet Trevor! He's a senior studying International Politics and German language with a plan to move to Berlin and continue studying politics after graduation! Trevor has been an active participant in Humorology since the beginning of his freshman year. He started as a cast lead, and subsequently directed for two years after that. He's extremely excited to be a part of the Executive Board for his last year with the amazing organization that is Humorology! He was never a theater kid in high school, but Humorology definitely introduced a new side to him that he didn’t know existed. Trevor is determined to make this last year of HUMO the best one yet!

Philanthropy and Outreach Chairs - [email protected], [email protected]
Kaylee Cunningham - Philanthropy
Meet Kaylee! She's a senior studying Mathematics with a focus in Actuarial Science. After graduation, she hopes to be an actuary in Chicago, but before the glory days are behind her, she can’t wait to be Philanthropy Director for her last year of Humorology. To Kaylee, Humo is pushing college students to open themselves to new experiences and become the best version of themselves that they can be. Her favorite part of Humo is the life-long friendships and having the ability to make such a big difference in the Madison community. While she thought her performing days were short lived after the many ballet performances she put on for her parents and brothers in the living room circa 2003, the person most shocked to see her singing and dancing these past 3 years is by far herself. This year, she’s excited to watch each cast grow as a family and to help them to raise money FTK!
Kaylee and her partner in crime, Lilly, are your go to pals for any information regarding donations, fundraising, events, and outreach! |
Lilly Fisher- Outreach
Meet Lilly! She's a senior studying Political Science, Criminal Justice, and Humorology. Lilly began her Humo journey freshman year, gracing the stage in a supporting role as Ad Girl #2. She has since gone on to direct two shows and play characters such as London Tipton and a band geek. Some of Lilly’s Humo accolades include winning “Best Directing Team” her sophomore year and placing third her junior year. For her fourth and final #HumoSZN, Lilly is so excited to serve as the Outreach Chair! She is ready to build relationships between Humo and sponsors, as well as other campus and local organizations to maximize fundraising potential. Lilly’s favorite part of Humorology is watching people who have never done theater have fun trying something new and developing into humo stars! On the rare occasion Lilly is not involving herself in Humo business, she can be found taking Buzzfeed quizzes, ordering sweet potato fries on EatStreet or crying while browsing the Sephora website, wishing she hadn’t spent all her money on food delivery. She can’t wait to see what creative ideas teams come up with this year and see what incredible amount of money will be raised for the kids!

Dance Chair - d[email protected]Charli Harris
Meet Charli! She is going into her senior year studying English and Dance. Ask her what she wants to do after graduation and she’ll ask you if Humorology is hiring. As this year’s Dance Director, Charli can’t wait to help out the directors and casts with dance breaks that knock the socks (but not the humo faces) off of the audience. She loves humo because as someone with about 3.5 friends it gives her people to say hi to on the street. One could argue that without humo she would have passed O Chem, gone to dental school, and saved the world, but she just says she was too busy saving the kids. Charli can’t wait to meet everyone and have the best humo year yet!!

Public Relations - [email protected]Marissa Zepecki
Meet Marissa! She is a junior studying Retail and Consumer Behavior, Digital Studies, and Entrepreneurship! After college, she dreams of starting her own business, traveling, and publishing a book. For the time being, she could not be more excited to serve at this year's Public Relations Chair! She hopes to use her creativity, organization, and motivation in order to help Humorology accomplish its goals this year and work with an amazing Executive Board in order to "take the road less traveled!" Marissa would love to grow Humorology larger than ever before and sell out all three shows! All of her passion for this amazing organization goes back to when she was just a little freshman who couldn't sing or dance. However, she fell in love with performing, bonding with cast members and most importantly, raising money #FTK!! After being an Italian Mafia member and a sheep her freshman year, she went on to direct a cast her sophomore year, helping them save the rainforest! To Marissa, this organization is all about bringing people out of their comfort zones, and watching even the most unexpected personalities come together to learn something new and discover their hidden talents! Catch her on campus with her camera taking photos of casts and their fantastic directors, absurdly posting too much on the Humorology social media accounts, or hanging out with her fellow exec members at The Terrace. Marissa is so excited to get to know every single cast member this year and watch their shows develop into beautiful and funny works of art! She also can’t wait to see how much positive social engagement we receive this year in the entire Madison Community!

Financial Admin. - [email protected]Cole Dunbar
Meet Cole! He's a junior studying Nuclear Engineering, and he's this year’s Humorology Financial Administrator. Cole fell in love with Humorology his freshman year when his directors (Trevor Ross was one of them!) talked him into participating in one of the legendary Humo Dance Breaks. After that, Cole went on to direct and star in a show where he won the award for “Best Male Lead” playing a high school principal. Besides raising more money than he ever imagined was possible for the best organizations around, his favorite part of Humo has always been the bonding; from inside jokes with cast members to staying late after practice is over just to keep spending time together, he will never forget the countless friends and memories he has made being a part of this amazing organization. Cole is excited to follow in the footsteps of the previous Executive Board and continue making Humorology the best that it can possibly be!
