KCACTF awards

From PeggyRae Johnson, Theatre and Dance:

Just in case Dan Patterson isn’t better at announcing these things than I am – I’m letting everyone know that he received the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival National Critic’s Fellowship this year, and so will be attending the National Conference in D.C. this spring.

Congratulations, Dan!

Additionally, Allie Relihan made the Irene Ryan semi-final round (only 36 out of almost 300 auditioners move on) and she also won the VASTA (Voice and Speech Trainers’ Association) Award for vocal excellence. Next, Molly Chase received 1st Place for Hair and Make-up design for Threepenny Opera. Last, Matt Kohler was approached by one of the judges of his Sound Design for Eleemosynary presentation and was offered an application for an Internship at the Public!! That’s Joseph Papp’s Public Theatre, not Boston’s! And, very last – our cast and crew gave their very best ever performance of Eleemosynary in spite of laryngitis and exhaustion!

Lizz Roos adds:

Note that Molly won the Alcone award for Makeup and Hair Design and is eligible to go to the Kennedy Center for the National Festival.

…Region One of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival awarded a regional merit certificate to Kimberley Harte as “Outstanding Vocal Coach”, for her work on The Threepenny Opera.
