Ensembles from different schools responded to the prompt as a starting point. They then selected sources of inspiration as their creative container (examples: a photograph, a poem, a fictional or non-fictional short story, a memory, interviews, a question, etc.). Each ensemble has created a unique performance vocabulary (including movement, voice, visual image, sonic landscape, text and scenic environment) informed by their source materials to communicate the piece's style and aesthetic.

Some want to be inspired by seeing their mentors living truthfully under imaginary circumstances, making a connection with their scene partners, and responding in the moment. And some, well, they just want to see if their teachers really practice what they preach! To accommodate both sorts of students (and curious colleagues), we offer the Faculty Acting Showcase. The adventuresome faculty members who volunteer to participate receive scenes to study without knowing who their partners will be. All is revealed at the Showcase, where the brave souls meet their partners and splash into the scene together at the moment of performance which gives a whole new, literal meaning to playing a scene as if for the first time! It"s an event unlike any other, and you can definitely expect the unexpected! A three-round audition process culminates in one person receiving a scholarship and being chosen to represent Region V at the national festival in Washington, D.C. Additional awards are presented for Runner Up, Best Partner, Best Classical, Best Vocal and Best Musical Theater auditions. Finals will be held on Friday night.
