2 Region III 42nd Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Welcome / Table of Contents

Welcome! As the iPod chirps in the background, we are busily working on things for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. So many things are different this year. We realigned the KCACTF regions in 2009, and some of our Ohio schools (but not all) moved to Region II. Our area chairs and festival hosts worked to make a huge difference with web applications and online forms. We moved show responses, event sign-ups, and festival registrations online with new and improved inter- faces and applications. Certainly, we have had our glitches and hiccups. Kerro Knox 3 Ansley Valentine But by and large, the differences have had a positive impact. We hope these changes will make your festival experience richer. We have planned a week of special guests, productions and workshops like no other. Many wonderful theatre professionals and academics are graciously giving their time to our cause—the celebration of all college and university theater. We want to honor and recognize all of the work in departments large and small across our region. Showing your work at festival is a great honor and mark of excellence—but don’t forget something important. Excellence happens every day in classrooms and on stages around this region and across the country. This weekend, you will see only some of this excellence—and there is plenty more where that came from. So, as you watch a show, attend a workshop, listen to a response, or browse the design and tech expo, think about how KCACTF is making a difference in your learning, your career, and your life. We are proud to serve as your co-chairs. As such, we get the most pleasure from seeing that difference happen over and over again. If you look around the festival, you will see it too.

Warmest regards, Kerro Knox 3 Ansley Valentine

The passion and creativity of our region’s designers, technicians and manag- ers is inspiring. In 2009, there were 217 individual entries in all of the events under the umbrella of Design and Technology. Ric Roberts and the gang at Saginaw Valley State gave us an amazingly large expo hall to fill with the Region’s best. And fill it we did. When we began planning this year’s expo, we thought that given the bad economy and the loss of Ohio from our region, we’d be lucky to get the same number of entries we had last year. Imagine our surprise around Thanksgiving when we looked at our registration numbers for 2010 and saw we not only had more entries than 2009, but that we passed last year’s total by some 100 entries! The Expo Hall may get a little crowded, but please come and see what’s going on. There are over 120 entries in our National-Eligible Design gallery, which includes the Barbizon Awards for Theatrical Design Excellence in Scenery, Costume and Lighting, the Alcone Company Makeup Design Award, and the KCACTF Award for Sound Design Excellence. On the opposite side of the Expo Hall, browse through the prompt books of over 30 stage managers vying for the National Stage Management Fellowship. Our Regional events, too, have grown from last year. The Regional Design gallery will feature over 90 student designs from unreal- ized productions. Work of both designers and technicians will be displayed in our Theatre Craft showcase, and for the first time ever props will take focus in Prop-A-Palooza, a juried exhibit of excellent work in prop construction and design. Be sure to take in the Faculty and Staff design exhibit as well…it’s always evident we have so many great design students because we have so many great design mentors. Outside of the Expo Hall, a dozen more students will be competing in Design Storm! Teams of designers, directors and dramaturgs will “storm” a production design concept over the course of the festival. The results will be on display Saturday afternoon in the gallery between the Malcolm Field Theatre and the Recital Hall. And to see the finest examples of costume design and construction live on stage, don’t miss the Costume Parade during Wednesday’s Evening of Scenes. We encourage anyone interested in design to sit in on both preliminary and final response rounds of all our events. We have a wonderful team of professional respondents whose job it is not just to bestow honors, but to help us all think and grow in our roles as technicians, designers and stage managers. This is a year of transition in Design and Technology. We thank Russ Jones, our immediate past Chair of D & T, for the last six years of service. At the same time, we welcome on board our new co-Vice Chairs Stephen Landon and Kathleen Donnelly. Thanks as always to our SVSU hosts Ric Roberts, Kelly Helmreich and Brett Elliott, Gregg Henry and the staff at the Kennedy Center, National Chair of Design and Technology Karen Anselm, our sponsors Barbizon and Alcone, our webmaster Sue Hill, and to everyone who has entered or mentored a project in this year’s Festival.
