FROM THE PRESIDENT
A Warm Welcome to Participants, Volunteers, and Guests:
On behalf of Cape Cod Community College, our students, faculty,
and staff, and our many partners, welcome to this outstanding
Region One Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.
After experiencing master classes, workshops, and performances
on our campus and at our collaborating venues, we hope you
make time to explore those places nearby that make Cape Cod
and Southeastern Massachusetts so very special. Enjoy Hyannis, its historic downtown district with
its John F. Kennedy Museum, and waterfront. Plan a trip to the islands of Nantucket and Martha's
Vineyard, or journey along The Olde Kings Highway (Rte. 6A), and imagine for just a moment
what it might have been like to travel by horse or carriage along this route or see great whaling
ships coming back to the homeports after years at sea.
It is very fitting that the Festival be held here on the Cape, where theater on so many levels is
vibrant year round.
We're home to the Cape Playhouse, America's oldest professional summer
theater; one of the most highly acclaimed high school theater programs in the country, the
Barnstable High School Drama Club; the Cape Theater Coalition, representing theaters and
producing
organizations
from Woods Hole to Provincetown, and other outstanding community
theater companies. The greats of the American stage and screen have made their homes here, and
have performed here for generations.
Cape Cod Community College is honored to be the focal point for this great Festival. Founded in 1961
to be the region's center of higher education, the College sees bringing the Festival to the Cape as an
excellent example of its role as a center for learning and culture and an economic engine for our
community.
This event is a glorious partnership among many, including the Town of Barnstable as our
community host. We express great thanks, for both the financial and the logistical support offered
by the town. Its support with that of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, The Arts Foundation of
Cape Cod, and others, is gratefully acknowledged with much appreciation.
Please accept my sincerest wishes for great experiences here on Cape Cod and in Southeastern
Massachusetts, and for an outstanding and highly successful Festival.
With warmest regards,

Mark Hollman is a musical-theater composer and lyricist who received the Tony Award, the National Broadway Theatre
Award, and the Obie Award for his score to Urinetown, the Musical, which itself won Outer Critics Circle, Drama League,
and Lucille Lortel Awards for best musical. In addition, Urinetown was selected as one of the season's best plays in The
Best Plays of 2000-2001: The Otis Guernsey/Burns Mantle Theatre Yearbook. From its successful run on Broadway,
Urinetown has gone on to hundreds of productions across the U.S. and throughout the world, including Japan, South
Korea, Germany, Australia, Canada, and the Philippines. The cast album of Urinetown is available from RCA Victor, and
vocal selections from the show have been published by Hal Leonard. His other musicals as composer/lyricist include
Yeast Nation (the triumph of life), which was part of the 2011 New York International Fringe Festival. Mark graduated
with a bachelor's degree in music from the University of Chicago, where he received the Louis J. Sudler Prize in the
Creative and Performing Arts. In 2004, he was honored by his Illinois high school, Belleville Township East, as one of the
first inductees of its Wall of Fame. He is a member of ASCAP, the Dramatists Guild of America, and serves on the
advisory board of the Dramatists Guild Fund. In 2010, he was elected to a three-year term on the Tony Nominating
Committee. He lives in Manhattan with his wife, Jillian, and their sons, Oliver and Tucker.
Greg Kotis is the author of The Boring-est Poem in the World, Yeast Nation (Book/Lyrics), The Truth About Santa, Pig

Actors Theatre of Louisville, American Conservatory Theater, American Theater Company, Henry Miller's Theatre,
Manhattan Theatre Club, New York Stage and Film, Perseverance Theatre, Roundabout Theatre Company, Soho Rep,
South Coast Rep, and the Old Globe, among others. Greg is a member of the Neo-Futurists, the Cardiff Giant Theater
Company, ASCAP, the Dramatists Guild, and is a 2010-11 Lark Play Development Center Playwrights Workshop Fellow.
He grew up in Wellfleet, Massachusetts and now lives in Brooklyn with his wife Ayun Halliday, his daughter India, and his

VIEWPOINTS—THE BASICS!
Orleans (RCCH)
ACTING/DIRECTING, Thomas Rothaker
This is a 60 minute workshop that is movement based, beginning training for a studying actor or director.
Students must be prepared to move and to come in with focus and a positive open energy. The basis for
the workshop is to combine many if not all of the viewpoints (such as levels, tempo, architecture, change
of direction) and create a 5 step composition based on a line or lines of text. Devised theatre from
various sources such as published text to ethnodramatic interview text will be discussed and put into
effect. The text will be provided and will be chosen from an array of famous pieces of Dramatic
literature. The result or "showing" of the students work will end up being a "riff off". Students will present
their compositions created out of the text against each other. This focus will be the gist of the devising
process and how things are used or discarded in order to create a cohesive piece of theatre.

place on stage, don’t miss this workshop hosted by Certified Confidence Coach, Pamela Wills. Learn
how to stop focusing on your Self and your anxiety and focus on your presentation or performance
instead. Learn how to accept and use your fear instead of resisting and fighting it. Reach your ultimate
performance goals! Bring a notepad, an open mind and the expectation that you WILL master this fear!

CONTACT IMPROVISATION
JFK 1 (CCRS)
MOVEMENT/ACTING, Wanda Strukus
This is a movement workshop. Contact Improvisation is a movement practice in which the point of
physical contact between two or more people is the starting place for improvisation and exploration. It is
appropriate for actors, directors, dancers, and choreographers. In this intense form of partnerwork,
we focus on feeling and acting on the impulse, saying yes to whatever is happening (expected or not),
finding and trusting spontaneity, trusting your partner, connecting with your partner, working with breath
and momentum, working with stillness and tempo, working with different kinds of spatial relationships

BLOCKING MATTERS: CONNECTING IMAGE & ACTION
Bass River (RCCH)
SDC, Charles Pepiton
The workshop is intended for intermediate to advanced directors and actors, but the focus will be on the
work of the director. The problem with blocking is that all too often it has no direct connection to the rest
of the director's concept. In the end, it just becomes crowd control. This workshop utilizes physical
metaphors and tangible images to guide the director's staging in an effort to reconnect image and action
and to discover a more purposeful method of mapping the actors' movements.

TELLING A STORY - What Acting in Tennessee Williams Plays
Cape Cod (RCCH)
Teaches Us About Acting in All Plays
ACTING, David Kaplan
The many plays written by Tennessee Williams offer actors special opportunities to tell stories that
reveal character, and are in the onstage telling, themselves actions. In a 90 minute lecture-demo with
in-class scene work, David Kaplan, the author of two series of textbooks (Five Approaches to Acting and
the Impolite Guides to Theater History), passes on practical techniques for telling stories in all play,
working from the principle that it's not what you say, it's how you say it - and what happens to you while
you say it. Actors telling stories begin by identifying points of views and create dramatic onstage action
while telling a story by shifting those points of view. Blanche's story of lost love in "A Streetcar Named
Desire," Tom's story in "The Glass Menagerie" of the Paradise Dance Hall across the street, and the
many stories that make up the action of the 90 one-acts Tennessee Williams wrote, are opportunities for
theater students -- and their instructors -- to stretch their imaginations and their craft.
12:30-1:30pm GOING BEYOND THE WORDS: USING PHONETICS TO DRIVE THE ACTION Centerville (RCCH)
ACTING/VOICE, Julio Agustin Matos, Jr.
Those who have studied and performed Shakespeare understand the importance of using the text to
drive the action. Yet even contemporary actors of stage and screen can benefit from a deeper
understanding of how the sounds of the English language can help to drive the actor's need! Workshop
participants can expect to explore new and exciting ways of connecting to their character's emotional
life. They will dissect and perform their monologues and scenes giving greater attention to
phonetics (consonants, vowels, and diphthongs).
"Words don't mean, people do" -- this
workshop will help you discover how!
COLLECTIVELY CREATING DOCUMENTARY THEATRE
Orleans (RCCH)
SDC/ACTING/NPP, Steve Reynolds
Together we will examine how to construct a documentary theatre production. We will review the
definition and brief history of documentary theatre beginning with Erwin Piscator’s early efforts, then
work our way through the basics such as choosing a topic, conducting interviews, gathering primary
source materials and creating or finding supporting music and visual evidence. Most importantly, we will
focus on how to structure the finished script so it takes the production team and the audience on a
meaningful journey. Bring your ideas and if there is time we will work on one specific topic.

DIRECTING FOR THE CAMERA

performance for the camera. Bring your cell phone or camera to the session.

IS THIS PLAY ACTUALLY A MOVIE?
Orleans (RCCH)
NPP, Wade Hollingshaus
Certainly, there’s nothing wrong with writing a movie…except when what you’re really trying to write is a

screen than to the stage. But what does this really mean? In this workshop—intended for both
playwrights and dramaturgs—we will identify and discuss the practical and aesthetic differences
between playwriting and screenwriting and come to a better understanding of what it means to write for
the theatre.

PLAYWRITING AND TRANSITION TO THE SCREEN
June 10 – 14, 2013
The College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Work with Professionals to become a Professional!
An excellent practical environment for playwrights or faculty looking to strengthen their background to
inform their curriculum, this seminar will be held on the UNLV campus - two sessions per day,
including practical classes, panel discussions and a workshop component in which participants
develop their plays as work for the screen. There will be “nuts-and-bolts” sessions ranging from a
contemporary, professional, on-page formatting to elements of “the pitch” and how to conduct a story
development meeting. Attention will be paid to how to protect and maintain the playwright’s “voice”
and character as a transition to other media is considered. There will also be a workshop component
that will consist of presenting pitches and scripts in a supportive small group or one-on-one
environment with one or more of the event’s professionals.
Instructors for this seminar are screenwriters, playwrights, and teachers all with deep
experience in theatre arts, television and feature motion pictures.
The seminar will be led by SEAN CLARK, an award-winning playwright whose
screenwriting career includes the television series: Early Edition; Sliders; Sirens;
Man of the People; Evening Shade; Northern Exposure; Coach and several series pilots, as well as
the plays: Eleven-Zulu; Dog Explosion; and The Angeles Crest. He wrote the screenplay for the
feature film, Lenin and Us, which was released in Europe in 2009. Sean is currently the head of
UNLV Graduate Screenwriting and Writing for Dramatic Media.
The cost of the seminar is $950 and includes on-campus private housing, courses
and mentoring. LIMITED SEATING AVAILABLE!
Contact either Sean Clark at 702-895-2442 or [email protected]
Or Lori at 702-895-2455 or [email protected]
THE WINNER OF NAPAT’S PLAYWRITING EXCELLENCE AWARD
RECEIVES AN EXPENSE PAID TRIP TO THIS SEMINAR.
EACH REGION WILL HAVE A PLAYWRIGHT

PROVINCETOWN TENNESSEE WILLIAMS THEATER FESTIVAL

KNOW Theatre is proud to present selections from the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival – Region 1!
Started in 1969 by Roger L. Stevens, the Kennedy Center's founding chairman, the Kennedy Center American College Theater
Festival (KCACTF) is a national theater program involving 18,000 students from colleges and universities nationwide which
has served as a catalyst in improving the quality of college theater in the United States. The KCACTF has grown into a network
of more than 600 academic institutions throughout the country, where theater departments and student artists showcase
their work and receive outside assessment by KCACTF respondents.
Through state, regional, and national festivals, KCACTF participants celebrate the creative process, see one another's work,
and share experiences and insights within the community of theater artists. The KCACTF honors excellence of overall
production and offers student artists individual recognition through awards and scholarships in playwriting, acting, criticism,
directing, and design.
The KCACTF is a year‐round program in eight geographic regions in the United States. Regional activities are coordinated
through eight KCACTF regional chairs and eight KCACTF playwriting awards chairs. The playwriting chair works with schools
that have entered new and student‐written plays by providing expertise in the development of new scripts‐‐
assessment specifically designed for a developing play—and by providing information on the numerous playwriting awards
offered.
KNOW Theatre Artistic Director Tim Gleason, having participated in the KCACTF Region 1 Festival for the past 7 years as a
mentor and director, is pleased to present the Region 1 plays selected for inclusion in this year's national
festival. Presented over the weekend of July 18-21 the plays will be performed off‐book and fully staged. Playwrights will be
engaged in dialogue with the directors throughout the rehearsal process, and will be provided with housing on July 20 so that
they may attend the Saturday night performance of their work and participate in a talk‐back with audience members at the
end of the evening. With the playwrights' permission, the Saturday evening performance of the plays will be
recorded so that the authors will have a record of their work produced in a professional theatre environment. KNOW
Theatre would like to congratulate last year’s Region 1 winners: Jonathan Fitts, Charlene Donaghy, Angel Nunez and Alex
Marshall, and thank them for their participation in this endeavor.
