Kerro Knox 3 Ansley Valentine 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 interfaces and applications. Certainly, we have had our glitches and hiccups. 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.

Design, Technology, & Stage Management Exposition Welcome! The passion and creativity of our region’s designers, technicians and managers 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 unrealized 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. Gion DeFrancesco M.C. Friedrich Chairs of Design and Technology Stephen Landon Kathleen Donnelly Vice Chairs of Design and Technology Region III 42nd Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival 23 Design, Technology, & Stage Management Exposition Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Marvin Sims Design Fellowship The Marvin Sims Design Fellowship is sponsored by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in celebration of the life of Marvin Sims, who passed away on Christmas Day 2003. Marvin was a vital contributor of the mission of KCACTF; he also served as the President of both the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) and the Black Theatre Network (BTN). The purpose of the Sims Design Fellowship is to give outstanding young student and early-career designers of color an opportunity for educational and professional development. Up to three scenic, costume, and/or lighting designers of color will be invited to the Kennedy Center Summer Intensives in Design Collaboration. The fellowship awards include a full tuition grant; travel to and from Washington, D.C.; shared lodging; per diem; and all materials. This rigorous master class will focus on the designer/director relationship by exploring project work selected from Shakespeare, the Greeks, and opera. The full director/designer process, from initial discussion, to research, to thumbnails, to finished renderings and model-building, will be practically explored in the Kennedy KCACTF Region III 2011 Design Projects In Costume, Lighting, Makeup, Scenery, and Sound Design Sakuntala and the Ring of Recollection by Kalidasa, ~400 (Sanskrit play available in a Dover paperback at Drama Bookshop) Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare, 1620 The School for Scandal by Richard Sheridan 1777 (Samuel French) August: Osage County by Tracy Letts 2008 (Samuel French) The Threepenny Opera Lyrics by Bertolt Brecht, Composed by Kurt Weill, 1928 (Samuel French) The Ash Girl by Timberlake Wertenbaker, 2000 (Dramatic Publishing) 24 Region III 42nd Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Center Design Studios.

The question is: Which came first, theatre or the box office? Drowning by Jeff Nichols directed by Courtney Self Two old friends try to maintain their friendship as their lives evolve. But the memory of a near drowning involving a woman they both love proves to be too much for their fragile connection. One will lose himself and the other will gain what he has always wanted, his friend’s life. True West by Sam Shepard directed by Elliot Wasserman University of Southern Indiana Two adult brothers sharing some time in their mother’s home become locked in a psychological and sometimes violent struggle for their individual identities.
