ACTORS TO PERFORM AT THE KENNEDY CENTER

Jeffrey Scott was chosen as one of three people from the cast of the play The Solution (performed here at Tech) to participate in the American College Theatre Festival Irene Ryan Auditions at the Regional Festival in Huntsville, Texas at Sam Houston State University. He then had to choose an acting partner to go with him. Jeff was one of two people picked from 150 actors from five different states to go to the Kennedy Center. This has not happened at Texas Tech since 1991. Paul was a very big part of this, as Jeff's partner in the two duet scenes. The actors will participate in workshops with professional practitioners, and they will also get to audition for professional companies and programs. We are extremely proud of their work.

PLAY ACCEPTED BY THE DOWNTOWN URBAN THEATRE FESTIVAL

Fine Arts Doctoral Program student Hershell Norwood's play, Billie's Blues, was accepted by the Downtown Urban Theatre Festival (DUTF) from among more than 1,500 scripts as one of the final 12 to have a reading presentation this June in New York at the historic Cherry Lane Theatre (lower Manhattan). DUTF is a two-week celebration of urban theatrical expression marked by a multicultural perspective which "showcases theatrical works that echo the true spirit of urban life and speak to a whole new generation whose lives defy categorizing along conventional lines." Norwood's play is also featured at a fund-raiser by T. Bankolé, director at the New Federal Theatre, who is exploring the development of Billie's Blues into a full production.
