Dom Corsoe of Williamstown Recognized at Regional Theater Festival

2012 Jan 13

Dom Corsoe, a student at Huntington University, was recognized during a January-term trip to the regional Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana.

The 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.

This year, 13 students and theater faculty attended the regional KCACTF during Jan. 3-7, which includes colleges and universities from Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and selected western parts of Ohio.

At the festival, HU students attended workshops, viewed high quality regional theatrical productions and competed in design and acting competitions as well as competitions in dramaturgy and playwriting.

Corsoe, a junior Graphic Design major from Williamstown, NJ, participated, along with his scene partner, in the Irene Ryan acting competition. He performed well but did not pass through to the semifinal round.

"KCACTF covers a wide gamut of events, and every year we have students coming back with merits and recognitions honoring the work they do at Huntington in our theater department," said Jay Duffer, assistant professor of theater arts at HU. "Every student that has gone in the past has gained so much valuable insight into theater."

Huntington University is a comprehensive Christian college of the liberal arts offering graduate and undergraduate programs in more than 70 academic concentrations. U.S. News & World Report ranks Huntington among the best colleges in the Midwest, and Forbes.com has listed the university as one of America's Best Colleges.

Founded in 1897 by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, Huntington University is located on a contemporary, lakeside campus in northeast Indiana. The university is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU).
