KCACTF 2013 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. Mike Hemphill. 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? Luke Eddy! As the Festival Coordinator he has logged countless hours putting this event together with lots of folks around the college and the community. He has my deepest gratitude. We must also thank the tireless assistance from Shreveport Bossier Convention and Tourism Bureau and Kim Brice, Suzanne Manfredi, and Chris Jay. I express many thanks to our small but feisty theatre department, faculty, Emily Heugatter and Jodie Glorioso, staff, Alan Berry (TD), 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. 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……………….…………………….…McNeese State University, Lake Charles, LA Chase Waites, Vice Chair, IR Coordinator………… Lone Star College-Montgomery, Conroe, TX David Blakely, Playwriting Chair……….………………....Rogers State University, Claremore, OK Jim Anderson, Playwriting Vice-Chair…………………..Texas A & M Commerce, Commerce, TX Jason Foreman, Design/Tech/Management Chair……….....Oklahoma City University, OKC, OK Jon Young, Design/Tech/Management Chair……………….University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK Christopher Sousa-Wynn D/T/M Vice Chair…………..…Texas State University, San Marcos, TX Rob Kreps D/T/M Vice Chair……………….……….Lone Star College – Montgomery, Conroe TX Bob Stevenson, Arkansas Chair………………………...…...University of Arkansas-Ft.
