2024-2025
Executive Board
President
Lucy Colwell ‘27
Lucy Colwell is an English major with potential minors in Creative Writing and Musical Theatre. Hailing from Los Angeles, Lucy has been performing her whole life, acting in Shakespeare plays since she was 6 years old.

Vice President
Jared Smith ’28
Jared Smith is a prospective Molecular Biology major with a potential minor in Musical Theatre. In addition to theatre at PUP, he performs with the Footnotes and plays soccer on campus. He loves to ski, and he is always down for a game of Spikeball on Poe Field.
Production Manager
John Heitz ’28
John Heitz is a prospective Psychology major (planning on getting a minor in Theatre). He lives, breathes, and sleeps musical theater. He has been excited getting involved in PUP, and is hyped to help it develop. He is also the Props Manager for Theatre Intime, a member of NCW College Council, and is currently writing an original musical.
Business Manager
Mindy Sim ’27
Mindy Sim is a Molecular Biology major and pursuing a minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies. She is from Carmel, Indiana, which is the roundabout capital of the US—she cannot tolerate waiting at stoplights anymore! Outside of PUP, Mindy can be found working with fruit flies in lab, conferencing with students at the Writing Center, and looking for the best matcha in Princeton. After stage managing two PUP shows and sending out countless whenisgoods, Mindy was sold when Lauren (the outgoing BM) said that this position does not require sending “bumping this whenisgood!” emails. She’s excited to be a part of PUP and to work on many more shows!
Publicity Chair / Social Media Chair
David Getz ’28
David Getz is currently unsure of his major, so if you figure it out before him, please let him know! On campus, you can essentially always find David singing, whether it be in a PUP or Princeton Triangle Club Production, with the Princeton Nassoons, or with the Princeton Glee Club. If you see him in the wild, he is bound to have headphones in, rushing from one activity to another with a drink in hand from one of the many local coffee shops. He has been told he has an excellent Abby Lee Miller impression, and you should definitely ask him about it.
Technical Director
Rowan Johnson ’27
Rowan Johnson is a Philosophy major from the central (yes, central) NJ coast who loves parentheses. In their “free time,” one might find them playing in the theatre (shocker), playing on the cello (goodnight), or playing sad music and weeping over the Revolution that Never Was (✊😔) but trying to do something anyway. Rowan’s new favorite word is “poochon” (sorry, schnoodle) and his favorite color is still mallard’s head green (he swears it’s not the same as emerald). Please forgive him for plagiarizing his Intime bio without professorial consent.
Special Projects Coordinator
Adam Bathurst ’27
Adam is a junior student majoring in Civil Engineering and pursuing minors in Theater and Sustainable Energy. He once accidentally turned on Elvis radio instead of the Broadway channel and didn’t listen to anything else for the entire year.
EDI Board Chair
Tal Naider ’28
Tal Naider is a prospective Music major and Computer Science minor who loves being in musicals almost as much as writing them. You can most likely find her at the piano in Effron or studying with friends in the Yeh common room. She is incredibly excited to work with such a talented and diverse group of artists as part of the PUP Board.
Managing Board
Music Manager
Morgan Taylor ’27
Morgan is a Music major from Scottsdale, Arizona. When he is not serving as PUP’s Music Manager, you can find Morgan music directing the Princeton Footnotes and singing with the Glee Club. He can also be found trying and failing to avoid low hanging trees.
Assistant Technical Director / Costumes & Props Manager
Annalise Schuck ’26
Annalise Schuck is disappointed by the lack of puppies at PUP, and she firmly believes that this name is false advertising. She likes assisting, tech, and directing, so this role is really a dream come true. Outside of PUP, you can find Annalise fulfilling this exact same role at Theatre Intime or tap dancing with the Princeton TapCats. She’s so excited to Play with the Princeton University Players!
Box Office Manager
Elena Milliken ’26
Elena Milliken is a Philly native studying Anthropology with minors in Theater and Spanish. She is also an RCA for New College West and a coach with Trenton Youth Theater. On campus, she is mostly a lighting designer and producer, although she dabbles in set design occasionally. You will find her wishing she was at the ceramics studio but still never actually going.
Historian
