Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival participation

Both Macbeth and Twelfth Night were entered into the American College Theatre Festival. Directors/educators from outside of City College attended the plays and provided feedback to everyone involved with the productions. The festival is typically held regionally each February; the 2021 festival was held virtually, and the 2022 festival will also be virtual.

One of the aspects of KCACTF is that two actors are selected from each production to participate in the Irene Ryan Scholarship competition. Actors will perform a monologue and a scene, and they have the chance to advance to semi-finals and finals. The top performers can get a nice monetary prize as well as a trip to Washington, D.C. to compete at the national level.

The actors selected from Macbeth are Yvana Alvarez and JD de la Cruz. From Twelfth Night: Gabriela d'Amico and Angel Lopez Rodriguez.

Jeff Wallach from Cal Lutheran talks to the Twelfth Night cast.

Huge congratulations to all four outstanding actors for their performances, and best of luck in February!

Twelfth Night--that's a wrap!

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Twelfth Night for a terrific closing weekend. Here's a photo from Saturday night (missing: Angela Sanfilippo and Grace Japeth).

You have a lot to be proud of.

Two acting opportunities

This is from Vanessa Flores, who is working with the San Diego Repertory Theatre:

Amigos Del Rep at the San Diego Repertory Theatre is looking for an Indigenous Latinx/e person to participate in the commercial of one of the plays presented at the 2021 Latinx New Play Festival. It consists of reading one of the plays as well as an interview over zoom, where we will ask the participant-specific questions and thoughts about the script. This interview will be recorded to be featured on the Rep's social media platforms. As compensation, we'd like to offer them a free online or in-person pass to this year's festival happening September 3-5.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Vanessa at kflores@ucsd.edu.

Specifically, they are recruiting for youth care workers who will be providing assistance and comfort to the refugees housed at the Convention Center. The group of refugees at the San Diego Convention Center is comprised of females from ages 13 to 17 years old. If you are over 18 years old who would be interested in working at the San Diego convention center as a youth care worker.
