President Denise Trauth, Provost Perry Moore and the entire faculty, staff, and administration join me in expressing pleasure that you ____________________________________________________ have come to our campus for the 2009 Region VI Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. ____________________________________________________ Authorized by the Texas Legislature in 1899, Southwest Texas State Normal School opened its doors to 303 students in 1903. Since that time the Legislature has broadened our mission and increased the scope of our academic programs – each time changing our name to reflect the ____________________________________________________ new expectations. We have moved from “normal school” to “teachers’ college” to University during our century-plus existence. Today, Texas State University offers one hundred bach- elor’s, 88 master’s and eight doctoral degree programs to meet the needs of more than 29,000 students. ____________________________________________________ Our University motto for many years boasted of a “Progressive University with a Proud Past.” That motto certainly fits our excellent programs in theatre and dance. Indeed, we are proud ____________________________________________________ of our past – a past than includes a command performance for President Lyndon Johnson at the LBJ ranch, a past that includes award-winning alums like Powers Boothe, Chelcie Ross, Thomas Carter, and Eugene Lee, and a past that has featured our children’s musical theatre ____________________________________________________ performances in Washington, St. Petersburg, and Moscow while entertaining 12,000 elementa- ry students annually. We are equally excited about our future. Over the next five years we will open the new Patti Harrison Theatre, just west of our current facility. That theatre will be one ____________________________________________________ of three halls that comprise our Performing Arts Center – the new “front door” to the campus. We are excited about the work of Artist-In-Residence, Eugene Lee, as he strives to build upon the current successes of our Texas State Black and Latino Playwrights Conference. ____________________________________________________ Our new university tag line celebrates Texas State University as “The Rising Star of Texas.” While some complain that we should boast “The Star Has Risen,” we in the College of Fine ____________________________________________________ Arts and Communication are dedicated to the notion of continuous improvement. We see our work as a journey – not a destination. We are honored to have you on our campus this week, and we would be pleased to host you again in the future in the new Patti Harrison Theatre – ____________________________________________________ after our star has risen further above the horizon.

  • Michael Warren Powellis
    WELCOME to the Fifteenth Annual Last Frontier Theatre Conference. We at Prince William Sound Community College are very proud of this event, and hopefully by the end of the week you will see why. I started coming to Valdez (for the Conference) in 1995, its third year, and it became an annual pilgrimage for me. I quit jobs to make it here. I ran up credit cards. I did whatever it took for me to get to spend the week here. I crashed on the floor at the college, survived off the food at receptions, and worked on whatever anyone asked me to. No one was more important to me in those early years than Michael Warren Powell, the first coordinator of the Play Lab. I remember being in awe of how insightful the responding panel was critiquing plays that were all (in my opinion) pretty problematic. Michael and the other panelists became my idols. Which made it all the more important to me when one day I was hanging out with friends at the picnic tables in the middle of the park strip and we saw Michael walking our direction. He came up and engaged us in conversation, and we became friends. He let us know that he considered us his peers. In the late 90s, I decided that, of all the people I had met, there was no one whose life I wanted to emulate more than Michael’s. I made producing new work and nurturing playwrights my focus, and the answer to most of my questions can be found in the answer to the question “What would Michael do?” I am very excited to have him back with us this year.
