Dear Region IV students and faculty,

Welcome to what we hope will be sunny Daytona Beach, Florida!

Please join me in thanking and congratulating the students, faculty and staff of the School of Music, Entertainment and Art. Planning this festival has been a lot of fun because there’s so much to offer at Daytona State College.

I want to thank everyone in Region IV for their continued patience and assistance; the region has been doing great work and I am proud to serve as your Chair. I especially want to thank the Regional Selection Team, the Regional Executive Committee, the Respondent Coordinators and all who responded to our incredibly diverse productions in 2010. The work you all do enriches this festival and challenges our students to do their best work.

This year’s festival continues the tradition of providing a wide range of opportunities for our students and faculty to participate in. This year, we have a larger group of invited productions, a strong selection of workshops from every field of theatre, and a beautiful backdrop in which to celebrate our work! I invite everyone to share in as many of the great opportunities available as you can!

Best wishes for a wonderful festival!
