It was an exciting night for UP theater students in Humboldt last night when it was announced that six students and their partners have moved on to the semi-final round at ACTF! The announcement came just after 5:00 about the 32 winners who will be passed on to the second round of the five day competition.
The nominated UP students in the semi-finals are:
Sammi Boyd
Danielle Larson
Jamie Kluth
Connor Bond
Conor Eifler
Alex Kirby
These students happen to be six of the eight graduating seniors within the theater program.
"I'm ecstatic to have this opportunity to move on to semi-finals," Kluth said. "It doesn't get much better than having the chance to do what you love for the rest of the world."
After being passed on to this second round, these six students will have perform two scenes with their partner under five minutes. Semi-finals have been pushed back from today until tomorrow morning in Humboldt, California. There is no word yet to why the second round has been delayed until tomorrow.
The third round winners, which will be narrowed from 32 to 16 students, will be announced tomorrow night. The third round for the nominee will consist of two scenes with their partner as well as monologue of their chose. The judges will then decide the 2 nominees who will be performing in the national competition in Washington, D.C.
Fingers crossed for our six semi-finalists!
More updates to come as the competition progresses!
