KCACTF Region 3
It’s the final day of the our stay at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (region 3) in Saginaw. It’s been a good conference for the students. Two of our actors (Grace and Rasell) moved onto to semi-finals in the Irene Ryan competition; Rasell then progressed to the finals. Nice work. Of our design students, Tiffany moved on to semi-finals for her costume design for “The Rover,” Claire for her costume design for “Psuedolus,” and Ann and Brittany moved on for their make up designs of a segment of “Story Theatre.” Alyssa is in the semi-finals for her stage management of “Anything to Declare.” She has her final session today. Some students (Corey and Brandon) have been cast in some of the ten minute plays, have been stage managing events (Marge and Alyssa), and they’ve all been attending seminars like crazy. Best of all, they’ve been there for each other at all the events, cheering each other on and sharing the joy even when they themselves haven’t moved forward in the competitions. A good bunch of kids.

And here’s Liz, Grace, and Carolyn as ready and raring to go.
My colleague Tracey Lyons grabs a snack in the faculty lounge. She’s the one who did the shepherding on the design projects this year, since all we took were costume and make-up work.

Due to all the weather going on, I ended up manning the knot station at the Tech Olympics, and had an unexpectedly fun time. Here are the participants listening the announcement of the winners.
