On behalf of Dr. Paul Matney, President of Amarillo College, Sherman Bass, Manager of the Amarillo Civic Center and Globe News Center, and Mindy Bradley, the Amarillo Convention and Visitors Council Director of Convention Services, I welcome you all, once again, to the great City of Amarillo and to the Forty-Third Annual Region 6 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival! Much has gone into the development of hosting the Regional Festival once more in Amarillo. So many individuals contributed to making the possibility of Amarillo College hosting this event a reality. I hardly know where to start to thank them all. Nevertheless, they deserve tremendous accolades. First, and foremost, I would like to extend my appreciation and convey my immense pride for the small group of people here, at Amarillo College’s Theatre Arts Program, for the titanic undertaking they embraced. Sixteen hard-working and passionate majors, an incredible staff member—Keith Gamblin (get to know him), and Monty Downs, our super faculty member and TD, were invaluable in helping me and Region VI get this festival off the ground. Be looking for us all in our orange shirts should you have any questions or concerns. We are here to help! If you get the chance, also shake the hands of Michelle Ney, our fearless leader of Region 6, and Shannon Richey, our newest addition to the region as Festival Manager, for their tremendous efforts in improving your experience in Amarillo this year. Additional kudos go to Dr. Matney, Mr. Bass, and Ms. Bradley for their commitment to theatrical education in our community and throughout our region. Without their support, this week would simply not be possible. Finally, Amarillo College and Region 6 KCACTF wish to give a hearty thanks to the City of Amarillo for offering their facilities and support…we are so lucky that they would allow us to be here! I could gush for days, but this is a festival. It is time to start the festivities. Welcome and have a terrific time in Amarillo! A.
