Executive Producers - [email protected]
Joe Moeller
Meet Joe! He is a senior studying Finance and Risk Management, and he can’t wait to see his life consumed by Humo for a fourth straight year! Joe adapted the performance lifestyle early, playing the roles of Lumiere and Harold Hill in middle school musicals, but his proudest claim to fame came from his role as Lulu Lemon in the 2017 first-place “Pirates of Pen-Dance” show. As a director who won the first-place show the following year, he has come to love the way Humo allows people to discover their creative side, all while having an incredible impact on the community. When his friends finally get him to stop talking about Humo, Joe can usually be found at Memorial Union talking about sports, the unlimited powers of the Microsoft Office Suite, or the latest in Twitter drama. He is going to miss finding glitter all over his room the day after show week and acting like an utter fool on stage, but he is so excited to help produce an incredible performance and continue to expand the impact of this awesome organization!

Marshall Budin
Meet Marshall, a Junior majoring in Philosophy and Economics in hopes of going to law school after graduation! As the second member of his fraternity to serve on the Humorology Executive Board, he is excited to take Humo to new heights as one of this year’s Executive Producers. His favorite Humo memories include being given solos during musical numbers despite no ability to sing, and directing a cast that didn’t win but definitely had the most fun. When Marshall is not doing all things Humorology you can probably find him taking study breaks at the library, arguing with strangers about whether cereal is a soup, or getting his heart and soul crushed by any of the professional Cleveland sports teams. A real stickler for the rules and intentions of the organization, Marshall looks forward to rebuilding Humorology from the ground up and helping others make the same great memories that he did. His hard work, determination, and active problem solving truly contribute to the organization's success and far-reaching local impact.

Luke Standbrook
Meet Luke, a senior majoring in Interior Architecture with a focus in Branding and minoring in Sustainability. Luke’s Humo journey has been long and bittersweet. His favorite Humo memory was definitely getting to tell his cast they finally made it past semester auditions after 2 years of final show elimination. He still manages to act as a “Humo Mom” while also being the craziest and most outspoken member of the executive board, full of wild ideas and funny jokes. His goofy, electric personality is truly as asset to the entire organization. Luke’s experience in Speech Club has help create his Humo persona and mold him into the star he is today. In his free time, Luke enjoys pretending to be a graphic designer and exploring the beautiful architecture in Madison. With a number of crazy character ideas in his back pocket, he is beyond excited to serve as one of the executive directors, motivating casts to step out of their comfort zones and explore their creativity!

Ethan Core - Philanthropy
Meet Ethan, this year’s philanthropy chair! He’s a senior studying Economics with a certificate in Development Economics. Ethan knows three things and three things only: fantasy basketball, cars, and barbecue, making him the king of unique conversations and summertime cooking. His favorite Humo memory was directing last year’s first-place show with fellow Exec member Joe! When he’s not intently studying the nuances of fundraising, you may find him at Chik-fil-a or trying to cop the latest jawns online. Around campus, you can find him at the Terrace discussing Humo at length and monitoring how much money we’ve raised, or knocking down pins with the boys at the Union South bowling alley. Ethan has been mentally preparing for this moment his entire life and is ecstatic to serve on the Executive Board this year, bettering the Madison community one Humo show at a time.
Ethan and his partner Lucy are your go to pals for any information regarding donations, fundraising, events, and outreach! |
Lucy Kronzer - Outreach
Meet Lucy, a junior from Saint Paul, Minnesota majoring in Genetics. Lucy’s undying devotion to Humorology stems from the amazing people she has met and memories she has made with her crazy casts. Her dramatic and expressive Humo faces have dazzled audiences for years, along with her iconic dance breaks and major attitude as seen in shows past. In their free time, Lucy and her absolutely Humo-tastic best friends can be found belting out their favorite show numbers while dancing wildly around their apartment. When she’s not reliving the glory days of performing, Lucy can be found cherishing her 4 dogs, munching on pickles, reciting quotes from The Office, or loitering at MacTaggart’s Market, undoubtedly the greatest establishment in Madison. Lucy has totally revamped the Outreach position this year and cannot wait to see all of her new and innovative ideas take place. She’s super excited to see everyone’s beautiful Humo faces and cannot wait to raise money FTK!

Music Chair - [email protected]Gabe Rashba
Meet Gabe! He is a senior majoring in Biology and hopes to someday work in the medical field. His Humo journey began his freshman year where he starred in the show "It Curd Be Love." His directors were surprised to discover that he was a lifelong dancer half-way through the year and then proceeded to throw him into every dance routine in the entire show. This inspired him to direct his own show, winning Best Choreography which featured the first “stomp” number in Humo history! After a much-needed break, he is back and excited to be the Musical Director this year! Besides dancing, he does also enjoy other things which include: cooking salmon, watching Game of Thrones & Curb Your Enthusiasm, and spreading his unending positivity! Gabe is excited to bust his moves for anyone that asks and can’t wait to dance through the year on Humorology’s Executive Board. He wants everyone to have a GREAT day and to reach out to him whenever they feel like tearing up the dance floor.

Administrator - [email protected]Ben Steigman
Meet Ben, your new executive administrator. He is a (super) senior majoring in Political Science with a certificate in Education and Educational Services. Even though he originally told everyone he's taking a fifth year because he switched his major, he recently admitted to graduating late so he can participate in Humo one last time. Ben continues to surprise audiences with his dance “ability,” and is so thrilled to serve as Humorology’s most organized executive member. He will be monitoring all of the behind-the-scenes magic that happens throughout the year, as well as creating fire playlists for Union Times. Even though he has zero singing, dancing, or acting background whatsoever, Ben has grown to love absolutely everything about Humorology, especially watching his tough friends dress up in crazy costumes for hundreds of people to see. When Ben isn’t doing anything Humo related, you can find him at Badger Market serving the masses, watching the Cubs dominate the National League, or organizing his email at Memorial Union. He's convinced this year will be the best yet!

Meet Annie! She is a senior majoring in Economics and Environmental Studies with a certificate in Humorology and Show Tunes. She joined Humo as a freshman and then directed music for her cast’s show “Adventures in Ice Cream Land” winning Best Music the following year. Her Humo journey took a brief vacation last year when she spent a few months studying abroad, now finishing her undergrad with a much-needed homecoming to Humorology. To Annie, 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 a love for performing. Catch her on campus taking photos of casts and their talented directors, lighting up the Humorology social media accounts, or listening exclusively to the Mamma Mia 2 soundtrack while studying at Colectivo. Annie is eager to befriend every single cast member this year and live vicariously through the freshman, jealous they have the most incredible four years of their Humo lives ahead of them!

Finance Chair - [email protected]Morgan Eisenstein
Meet Morgan! She is a senior majoring in Food Science and basically also minors in Humorology. Her #1 hobby definitely is organizing tax information and coordinating with the IRS, so if you have any finance-related questions, Morgan is your girl! She grew up in Highland Park, IL and has since moved on to city living in beautiful Chicago. Morgan has been involved in two Humo shows, but her biggest claim to fame was having a killer one liner in her 2017 show. Morgan’s favorite part about Humorology is watching all of the hidden talents in each cast be exposed on the big stage while making a huge local impact. When she is not obsessing over Humo, you can find Morgan analyzing the latest trends in the snack food industry, watching reality TV shows, or surfing the internet for high quality memes. Full of energy and excitement, Morgan lights up the room with her unique sense of humor and enthusiasm. She could not be more excited to see what each cast creates this year! Morgan is beyond thrilled to be a member of this year’s executive board, and can’t wait to have a more hands on role within the organization.
