Texas State's Theater and Dance department has good reason to *act* pleased this week. Nicholas Medina explains, in this Bobcat Update.

The department is celebrating last week's success at the American College Theater Festival in Amarillo. Each year the festival brings students and faculty together to see some of the region's strongest productions and to participate in workshops.Those who attended the festival say they benefit regardless of whether they win awards or not.

Texas State hasn't had this much success at the A-C-T-F in recent years, so winning this year is especially gratifying for the group. Some of the students are looking forward to the next level of competition, which will be next month in Washington, D.C., where scholarships will be on the line.

Out of the 43 students representing Texas State at the festival last week, 18 received awards for best in the region. They won in the categories of acting, directing, writing, and dramaturgy. Seven out of those 18 are advancing to Washington to try to win national honors.
