30th annual evvy awards - Median

The EVVYs
invite you to join in the celebration of Emerson’s
talent during the 30th Annual EVVY Awards, on May 14, 2011,
at Emerson’s own Cutler Majestic Theater. The EVVY Awards is
like no other college production in the country. Modeled after
professional shows such as the Emmys and Oscars, The EVVY Awards has
become the largest multi-camera, live switch event any school has to offer.
This award winning show has become nationally recognized with a first place
award at the National Association of College Broadcasters Awards and
has received two national Telly Awards.
Tickets for the 30th Annual EVVY Awards are available at EVVYawards.org
or at the box offices located at both Emerson’s Paramount and Majestic Theaters.
Those who are not able to attend the show in person, are encouraged
to watch the live broadcast from the show at home,
via a livestream at EVVYawards.org.
Meet our hosts...
Collin Kittredge Smith is a 21 year-old comedy
writer and performer originally from Dallas, TX. A
junior at Emerson,Collin has already gained experience
as an intern for production companies in both New
York and Los Angeles. In addition to his appointment as
host, he is also Head Writer of the EVVY’s and a member
of the sketch comedy troupe, Jimmy’s Traveling All-Stars. His
influences include Woody Allen, Jimmy Fallon,Richard Curtis, The
Lonely Island, and many more. When he’s not eating things with
chopsticks, he can be found hanging with his family, watching too
much television, or trading pictures of pugs wearing Halloween
costumes with close friends. Hosting the EVVY’s will
be the culmination of his Emerson experience and a
stepping stone toward (what he hopes will be) a career
as a staff writer in the television industry. He is both
humbled and honored to be a part of a thirty year
legacy of professionalism, industry level experience,
and ridiculously good-looking hosts!
Rosie Moan is a senior BFA Acting major here at
Emerson. Her experience includes being on a Do
It Yourself Kids show when she was 11, her
mother videotaping her doing funny accents,
and joining Beyonce on her world tour.
She enjoys whipping her hair back and
forth, fondue, and getting caught
in the rain. Rosie is ecstatic and
honored to be the co-host of the
30th Annual EVVY Awards!
All of that experience is true, in case you are wondering.
