The Texas State Theater Department will have five students recognized next month at the Kennedy Center in Washington. Leah Hatcher has more in this Bobcat Update.
The Texas State Theater Department each year nominates select undergraduate and graduate students for their outstanding work. Each nominee vies for recognition at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. Five students have advanced as finalists this year. The national festival will take place in Washington April 14th through the 18th.

Third-year grad student in dramatic writing, Kevin Talley, comes away with perhaps the biggest achievement. Talley has been awarded the Ken Ludwig Playwriting Scholarship for best body of work -- including his original play Snake Oil.

Talley is joined by Joel Britt and Austin Sanchez for their work in lighting design and stage management for the show Rent, while Jordan Morille advances for his original play Norma's Rent. Shelby Acosta will also be awarded at the festival for her regional musical theater initiative. Texas State been sending finalists to the national festival consistently since 2001. It is hoped that such recognition brings more attention and more students to the department.
