CLEMSON THEATRE STUDENTS ADVANCE
TO REGIONAL COMPETITION
Because of their outstanding work, several members of the Clemson Players, Clemson University’s student theatre company, have advanced to the 2007 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival-Region IV competition to be held this month.
Clemson student actors, scenic, lighting and sound designers, as well as costume, make-up, prop designers, and stage managers will compete with other students in Region IV, which includes colleges and universities in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.
“Their advancing to the regional competition is the result of performing well at the state level,” said Carrie Ann Collins, the faculty advisor of the Clemson Players.
Among those advancing in the original 10-minute play category are Claire Pavlich, Philip Poole, Patrick Jordan. Advancing in the directing category are Jeff McLaren and Anthony Goodin.
Theatre professionals from outside the region selected the students in a blind process from among 97 entries. “Clemson had the most 10-minute plays chosen of any institution in the region,” said Richard Goodstein, the head of the Department of Performing Arts. “The success of these students reflects well on the teaching and research conducted by our faculty.”
Region IV festival takes place at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Ga., and features eight performances in addition to workshops with industry professionals. The Clemson students will have to opportunity for advancement to the Kennedy Center national festival held in Washington, D.C., held in April.
