During the course of the year, the plays are selected for the festival to showcase the “best of the region.”

This is the seventh of eight consecutive, weekly celebrations of excellence and achievement in theater in higher education. Individual participants and full-scale productions are eligible for awards in a number of disciplines recognizing excellence in the art and craft of theater.

“It is a real achievement for LMC’s drama program to be chosen to perform at the Kennedy Center Festival. We are happy to have them at the California Theatre,” said Joe Sbranti, City Manager. “剧院是在舞台上看到当地人才的好地方。”

肯尼迪中心每年都会举办为期一周的大学戏剧节。 This conference is designed to not only celebrate the arts but serves as a vehicle to connect all of the universities, state and private colleges and community colleges.

This year, Los Medanos College was invited to present its production of 栅栏 by 8月威尔逊 on Wednesday Feb. 19th at KCACTF. This production is not only the only African-American play being presented at the festival this year, but Los Medanos College is the only community college presenting a play during the festival as well. This is an incredible achievement, since LMC is a new program and has production budgets significantly smaller than the other participating programs.

In the past five years, LMC has worked to rebuild its drama program and has attended KCACTF to not only have students compete for scholarships, but to seek 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 opportunities. Through attending this festival, last year alone LMC had seven students 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 to prestigious programs with scholarships no less than $10,000 each. Students use this conference to build relationships with faculty from the institutions they want to 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场 to and take workshops with faculty to understand the styles of teaching provided at these institutions. This is also an opportunity for students to meet and network with other students who share similar passions.

In addition to these achievements the LMC Drama Department Chair, 尼克·加西亚 was awarded the Meritorious Achievement award by KCACTF for ‘Excellence in Program Development’ in 2012. In 2013 Marina Ketchum won 2nd place in Stage Management (where she was competing against students from programs with 4-year degrees and graduate programs). Marina Ketchum also was awarded a weeklong Technical Theater intensive in Las Vegas by the Kennedy Center. 塞萨尔·雷耶斯也在2013年获得了最佳音效设计奖第二名。
