UO Theatre Arts Students Honored
|
|
An original play by Matthew Chorpenning, a University of Oregon theater arts student, was named the regional winner of the John Cauble Short Play contest during the recent Northwest Drama Conference (NWDC) in Moscow, Idaho.
His play, “Talking to Strangers,” was staged as a featured event during the Feb. 17–21 conference that also was the Region VII meeting for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF).
First presented as part of the University Theatre (UT) New Voices series in November, Chorpenning’s play was judged in competition with plays presented by students from around the nation. He also received the Student Fellowship for Region VII that will allow him to attend a national conference at the Kennedy Center and participate in workshops with nationally acclaimed playwrights and theater artists.
In addition, nine UO students were nominated for their work in University Theatre plays during the past year.
A paper by Wayne Bund, “Multiplicity of Gender in Edward II,” won the undergraduate scholarly paper contest, and he also was the first runner-up in the critic’s symposium.
UO theater arts faculty members singled out for awards included Jerry Hooker, UT scenic designer, and Jack Watson, associate professor in theater performance.
