Executive Board

President

David Getz ‘28

David Getz ’28 is a prospective Music Major with minors in Computer Science, Cognitive Science, and Theatre and Music Theatre. On campus, you can essentially always find David singing or engaging with Music, 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 a pair of headphones in, rushing from one activity to another with a drink in hand from one of the many local coffee shops. He’s known amongst the Theatre Community on campus for his Magic Foot, ability to Do Favors really well, his impeccable Abby Lee Miller impression, his Professor-Like qualities, as are often found in Wawa (predominantly, his ability to be Hugged), and for knowing that, in the end, It’s Gonna Be Good.

Favorite Musical: Next to Normal

Business Manager

Mindy Sim ’27

Mindy Sim ’27 is from Carmel, Indiana, the roundabout capital of America! Outside of PUP you can find her reading, cooking at 2D, working as a Writing Center fellow, or looking for the best chocolate croissant around campus and town. She is excited for another year with PUP 🙂

After stage managing two PUP shows and sending out countless whenisgoods, Mindy was sold when Lauren Owens (aka milky white aka former PUP BM) said that this position does not require sending “bumping this whenisgood!” emails.

Technical Director

Rowan Johnson ’27

Rowan Johnson ’27 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.

Her big theater break was my role as a fairy queen in the incredible play The Wizard, The Witch, The Fairy, The Squirrel, and the Soft Fuzzy Slippers of Doom in fourth grade. When she’s not representing the fairy queen kingdom, she dabbles in cosplaying foreign countries (aka Model UN). Most of all, her favorite hobby is sleeping! Yay!
