Student play nominated to go to regional contest

The TCU Theatre studio production of Two Feet Away and Shouting has been nominated to advance to the regional competition of the American College Theater Festival.

The production, written by senior political science major Tim Dragga, will be performed at the regional theater festival in February, which will be hosted by TCU.

Lee said if students place in the ACTF regional competition they have the opportunity to continue to the national competition in Washington D.C. At regionals, students will compete against the University of Oklahoma, the University of New Orleans and other major theater departments, he said.

TCU cast members performed in the local ACTF competition Oct. 23 at Collin County Community College, said theater professor Craig Lee.

Lee said the studio department in theater allows the students to be involved in every aspect of the performance. Students write, direct and perform, he said.

“It becomes a labor of love for these students,” Lee said. “It becomes personal.”
