The Northeast State Department of Theatre’s Spring season production, Wiley and the Hairy Man, brought together many moving parts of stagecraft. Puppets, scene designs, costumes, sounds, voice actors, and videography were created to tell the story of a boy, his dog, and a scary swamp monster.
The hard work paid off. The play earned 10 student and faculty nominations from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) Region IV competition. KCACTF IV judges reviewed theatre projects from two-year and four-year institutions across the Southeast. Festival proctors announced nominations in June. Northeast State students nominated and the categories in which they were nominated are as follows:
Steven Hathaway – Student Sound Design
Cheyenne King – Student Costume Design
Matthew Parvin – Student Stage Management
Hannah Price – Student Music Director
Gavin Mann – Allied Technology Design (Props)
SarahGrace Triplett – Irene Ryan Scholarship (Performance)
Jillian Cox – Irene Ryan Scholarship (Performance)
Emily Proffitt – Irene Ryan Scholarship (Performance)
Student nominees in all categories (acting, design, dramaturgy, criticism, direction, stage management and new plays) are considered to participate in the scholarship events.
Two Northeast State instructors received Certificate of Merit award nominations in the category for faculty. Northeast State assistant professor and technical director, Brad McKenzie, earned a nomination for directing the play. Instructor Richard Curtis received Certificate of Merit nominations for his contributions in Character and Puppet Design as well as Scenic Designer and Character Artist.
The KCACTF Region IV includes two-year and four-year institutions in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The region holds an annual festival the first week in February at a college or university in the region. Theatre departments and/or programs enter productions as either participating or associate level entries.
Northeast State Theatre students and faculty routinely earn praise and prize hardware at the festival. Students participated to receive feedback from theatre professionals and earn recognition in the form of awards, scholarships, internships, or the opportunity to represent Region IV at the national KCACTF festival.
In the pre-pandemic times, student nominees and invitees traveled to join their peers for the festival. The past two festivals were held in a virtual format due to COVID-19 safety protocols.
These nominees next compete at the KCACTF Region IV Festival scheduled February 1-5, 2022. The festival hosts are Auburn University at Montgomery, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, and Troy University.
