During the Blizzard ...

Most of you reading this Playbill didn't get to see the fine productions of Antigone, , The House of Blue Leaves and Godspeli performed by The College of St. Benedict, The University of South Dakota, Northern State College at Abereen, S.D., and St. Olaf College respectively at the American College Theatre Festival, held on the M.S.C. campus Jan. 9-12. In spite of the wild and wooly weather, the plays went off without a hitch and there was always an ample audience. Gary Briggle was judged the winner of the Irene Ryan Award acting auditions. Gary played the Jesus role in St. Olaf's pro duction of Godspeli. Local audiences may recall him from Highland Summer Theatre productions: Alaric in Peg 'O My Heart; Uncle Ben in Death of a Salesman; Hysterium in A Funny Thing Hap pened . . . Remember the Pontius Pilate number in He Lived the Good Life? That was Gary. Gary receives a $500 scholarship and a trip to the A.C.T.F. in Washington D.C. where he will audition with other regional winners in the Eisenhower Theatre of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The winner of these auditions will receive a $2,000 scholarship.

How the A.C.T.F. works ...

People often ask, "Who won the regional festival held re cently here in Mankato?" Answer: "It doesn't work that way." What actually will take place is as follows: On Feb. 22 and 23, the various regional chairmen and central committee members who have been evaluating the plays at various regional festivals (other than their own) will convene in Ft. Worth, Texas and present their choices as to which ten plays of the nearly sixty-five pre sented, would make a fine national festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on April 7 thru 20. Since there are thirteen regions and only ten plays selected, some regions may not be represented, while others may send two plays, the trick is to get the best possible college productions performing at the national festival. T. Paul, Jr. A.C.T.F. Chairman, Region VII
