Several students and an alum were nominated to attend the 2019 Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, where they competed for awards in musical theater, lighting and design work, and more. During the festival, Night #3, an original play by John Nordt '18 (right), was the only piece given a full-length staged reading by the National Playwrighting Program, directed by Nico Grelli (left), a New York-based director. Nordt wrote this play as his distinction project for his Theater Arts major, and the Theater Arts Program produced Night #3 during the Spring 2018 semester, with full production values.
