KCACTF 2014 REGION 6 ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, NEW MEXICO, OKLAHOMA, AND TEXAS HOSTED BY CENTENARY COLLEGE OF LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE AND DANCE "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez" Let the Good Times Roll I would like to welcome everyone to the Louisiana Mardi Gras season and to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, Region 6 (KCACTF). Please, let me also extend a warm welcome from Centenary College President, Dr. David Rowe, and Centenary Provost, Dr. Karen Soul. On behalf of the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourism Bureau I’d like to welcome you to our fair cities and encourage you to enjoy all they have to offer. A great deal of effort has gone into bringing the regional festival to the beautifully opulent Strand Theatre and there are many to thank. Where to begin? Emily Heugatter! As the Festival Coordinator she has logged countless hours putting this event together with lots of folks around the college and the community. She has my deepest gratitude. We must also thank the tireless assistance from Shreveport Bossier Convention and Tourism Bureau. I express many thanks to our small but feisty theatre department, faculty, Emily Heugatter and Jodie Glorioso, staff, Alan Berry (TD) and Lorna Dopson, and students, who have that wonderful “can do” attitude! I must also include the excellent and dedicated staff at the Strand Theatre headed up by Executive Director, Danny Fogger, General Manager, Jennifer Akers, and Production Coordinator, Brandy Bell. Please know, none of this would have been possible without the understanding and assistance of IATSE local 298 and its President/Business Agent, Russell Wingfield, may he rest in peace. A special thanks to the faculty and staff of Centenary College for their understanding and assistance as our small college doubles in size for the week. Warm thank you to the Friends of the Marjorie Lyons Playhouse and its President, Steve “Red” Vanderkuy. Of course, I could go on and on, but “Let’s Roll.” Respectfully, Don Hooper, Region 6 Festival Host SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS TABLE OF CONTENTS KCACTF REGION 6 COMMITTEE, NATIONAL LEADERSHIP CENTENARY COLLEGE OF LOUISIANA PLANNING COMMITTEE INVITED PRODUCTIONS PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE FESTIVAL MASTER SCHEDULE IRENE RYAN ACTING SCHOLARSHIPS AUDITION SCHEDULE WHO’S WHO AT THE FESTIVAL KCACTF REGION 6 SPONSORS KCACTF REGION 6 PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS KCACTF REGION 6 FESTIVAL HISTORY MAPS KCACTF REGION 6 COMMITTEE Joy Pace, Chair……………….…………………….……………….Itinerant Theatre, Inc., Lake Charles, LA Chase Waites, Vice Chair, IR Coordinator……………..……Lone Star College-Montgomery, Conroe, TX Jim Anderson, Playwriting Chair……………..…………..……….Texas A & M Commerce, Commerce, TX Ashley Edwards, Playwriting Vice-Chair...…….Northwest Arkansas Community College, Bentonville, AR Jason Foreman, Design/Tech/Management Chair………..................Oklahoma City University, OKC, OK Jon Young, Design/Tech/Management Chair………………….…….University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK Rob Kreps D/T/M Vice Chair……………….……………..….Lone Star College – Montgomery, Conroe TX Don Eller, Arkansas Chair………..…………………………..………...Arkansas State University-Beebe, AR Dan Innouye, Arkansas Vice-Chair……………………….……..Ouchita Baptist University, Henderson, AR Paul Crook, Louisiana Chair, PAI Coordinator………………..........Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, LA Andrew Lewis, Louisiana Vice-Chair, MTI Coordinator……….Northwestern State Univ, Natchitoches, LA, Micheal Foster, Missouri Chair…………………………………….Missouri State University, Springfield, MO Tim Klein, Missouri Vice-Chair……………………….……...Missouri Southern State University, Joplin, MO Joshua Chenard, New Mexico Chair………………………...New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM Dr. David Fennema, OK Chair………………………………..…………….Cameron University, Lawton, OK Fabrice Conte, Oklahoma Vice Chair……………………………..,,,,,,University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK Jerry Ivins, Texas Chair…………………………………………San Jacinto College Central, Pasadena, TX Corey Ranson, Texas Vice Chair……………………...............Texas A&M Univ– Kingsville, Kingsville, TX Emily Heugatter- SDC Coordinator……………………………………….Centenary College, Shreveport, LA Clayton Guiltner, SDC Co-Vice-Coordinator……………...…..Southern Arkansas University, Magnolia, AR Luke Eddy, SDC Co-Vice-Coordinator……….………Bossier Parish Community College, Bossier City, LA Alissa Millar,Irene Ryans Vice Coordinator……………………….......
