Rosa Kim, executive producer
jkim63@nd.edu

 Hello beautiful people, I am Rosa Kim ('20) from South Korea, and I am the executive producer of PEMCo. While my day job in ND is being a Computer Science major and trying to make a breakthrough in the animation industry, I am also a big proponent of the old saying that goes “PEMCo >>>>>> life”. I joined PEMCo first semester of my freshman year as an assistant stage manager, and since then I have taken on numerous roles backstage, including but not limited to: stage manager, sound designer, light designer, associate producer, etc. I can’t wait to lead PEMCo to another year of blinding success!

Harrison Brousseau, marketing producer
hbrousse@nd.edu

Harrison Brousseau ('20) is a Political Science major with a Musical Theatre minor from Walnut, Illinois. He’s also a part of the second best club on campus: Glee Club. This old and decrepit senior retired from the priesthood after three failed attempts and turned to a life of crime shooting craps in the sewers of New York. He LOVES people and will be V offended and sad if the new PEMRecruits don’t talk to him. He decrees that PEMDinners WILL happen as long as he’s around. Caroline limited him to a 5-6 sentence bio. But he’s a rebel.

Caroline Lezny, artistic producer

Caroline Lezny ('20) is a senior from San Diego, CA double majoring in English and FTT, with a minor in Musical Theatre. Caroline has been performing, working behind the scenes, and spending all of her “free” time with PEMCo since her first semester freshman year, and is thrilled to be finishing out her college career with this amazing community as the Artistic Director for the 2019-2020 season. Some of Caroline’s favorite PEMCo experiences have been directing A New Brain (2017), and appearing as Miss Adelaide in Guys & Dolls (2019) and Gussie Carnegie in Merrily We Roll Along (2016). If she’s not at rehearsal, you can probably find Caroline writing on the quad, using up her flex points at Waddick’s, giving an admissions tour, or talking too loudly in DPAC. She can’t wait to get working on this season and knows that ‘20(Co) will be the best year yet! If you have any questions (or just want a chat!) please feel free to reach out. PEMCo >>>>>>> life

He has been involved with PEMCo since freshman year in various roles: ranging from sound designer (Guys and Dolls) to director (Urinetown). Off stage, he can be found playing the trombone or tuba in the Notre Dame Band, where he will also be serving as an Assistant Drum Major for the upcoming football season. He is thrilled to be serving as the Production Manager Producer for PEMCo and is looking forward to a year of amazing productions!

Elizabeth Travnik, associate producer

Elizabeth Travnik ('21) is a computer engineering junior from the south suburbs of Chicago who is super pumped to be working as PEMCo’s Associate Producer this season! She currently lives in Lewis Hall, but will be transferring to Pangborn Hall next year to start the community for the new women’s hall. Other than PEMCo, Elizabeth is involved with the University’s Marching Band by playing the Falto and being a librarian. 

Katie Coury, director (Fall)

Katie Coury ('22) is a sophomore Political Science major with minors in Education, Schooling, and Society, Italian, Musical Theatre, and Theology (Yes, that is a lot of minors!). She is originally from Phoenix, Arizona, but is blessed to call PEMCo her home at Notre Dame. Katie dived right into PEMCo during her freshmen year by performing as Pugsley Addams in The Addams Family, Agatha in Guys and Dolls, and as multiple roles in You’re Invited To: A PEMCo Revue. She has a plethora of experience for musicals prior to Notre Dame, ranging from producing and performing in a non-profit production of Les Miserables that benefitted Catholic education to annually directing around a hundred grade schoolers. Outside of the classroom and PEMCo, Katie is a Tour Guide, a member of Catechist Academy, a High School Ambassador, a member of Italian Club, and on Welcome Weekend (Ryan Go Braugh!). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out - she is super excited for another incredible year with PEMCo!

Mary Hope Clark, director (Spring)
mclark25@nd.edu

 Mary Hope ('20) is a senior ACMS major and double minor in Musical Theatre and Irish Studies from northern New Jersey. She lives with other PEMChicks in McGlinn (West Quad Best Quad) and has participated in PEMCo every year since freshman year. She performed in Grease and Urinetown, directed and choreographed Raise a Little Hell: a musical revue, and will be directing the Spring 2020 musical. Outside of PEMCo she is the Parliamentarian for the Band of the Fighting Irish, the Musical Director for Echoes (an a cappella group on campus), and the supply manager for Irish Gardens (the flower shop on campus). In what little free time she has, she enjoys boxing and talking about War and Peace. She loves PEMCo because of the family and joy it provides and can’t wait to get started with the new season. Peace, Love, PEMCo.

Kat Van Vleet, advisor

Kathleen "Kat" Van Vleet is the Assistant Manager of Washington Hall.  She graduated from Notre Dame in 2002 and began working for the University in 2004.  As a student, PEMCo did not cast her when she auditioned for Grease, but since spring 2012 she has been the group advisor, so she gets the last laugh.  Most freshmen find her terrifying, but once you get to know her she's actually really nice.  Just remember, keep your feet off the seats and the food backstage.
