Meet the Forum Board

Amy Georgson, President

Amy lives on a farm in Watertown, Wisconsin. This is her fifth year at MLC in the STEP Spanish program. Forum has held her heart captive since she played a horse in the 2005 musical production of Man of La Mancha. Since then she has not only acted and worked backstage but also served on multiple production staves filling various roles. She looks forward to graduating this spring and using what she has learned on and off the stage at MLC throughout her future ministry.

Caleb Schmiege, Secretary

Caleb, a pastor track sophomore with an emphasis in Spanish, is proud to call Madison, Wisconsin his home. He can still remember one of his first experiences with theater, where he played one of the three little pigs in a third grade musical (not the manliest role, but he was only 9 at the time). His aspirations for music and theater continued through high school until he became involved with forum his freshman year at MLC. Since his start, he has had roles in Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, The Three Fairy Godmothers, Pirates of Penzance, Love Grows Cold, and Dial M for Murder and has helped out behind the scenes as well. He is honored to serve the school and his Lord by being a member of the Forum board.
