"American College Theater Festival"

Emily O'Brien American College Theater Festival

At the ACTF Theater Festival, I performed a scene from "Moon over Buffalo," "Autobahn," "Dylan," and my final round monologue was from "Lend Me a Tenor." Most of my friends were other theater students, and some were also nominated to compete.

Since 1972, the Irene Ryan Foundation of Encino, California, has awarded scholarships to the outstanding student performers at each regional festival. These scholarships are made possible by the generosity of the late Irene Ryan, best remembered as Granny Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies.

Emily was a finalist at the ACTF Festival in Phoenix, and a Nominee at the festival in Utah. She also won the 3rd place for "Othello" at the DTASC Shakespeare Festival.
