Player makes semifinal
By MARY COX
Staff Writer
Earlier this month, six Aggie
Players traveled to Fort Worth to
compete for scholarship awards
in the Region VI American Col
lege Theatre Festival.
Roger Schultz, director of
theatre at Texas A&M, said the
festival is organized as part of
the American Theatre Associa
tion. The nation is divided into
10 regions, and universities and
colleges from Texas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Arkansas and
Louisiana constitute the sixth re-
gion.
“Two parts of the festival that
we’re most interested in at this
point are the Irene Ryan Acting
Scholarships and the ACTE
Theatrical Design Excellence
award,” Schultz said.

Anyone who watched the
Clampets on “The Beverly Hill
billies” show will remember
Ryan as Granny. According to
Schultz, Ryan was an accom
plished actress. She established
the scholarship foundation in
her will.
Four students from Texas
A&M competed for the Irene
Ryan scholarship. The two stu
dents nominated for their work
in the Aggie Players production
of “Liliom” were Vickye Boone,
a senior from Richmond and
Richard Strayer, a junior from
San Antonio. Gwendolyn Pesek,
a junior from Corpus Christi
and Peck Phillips, a junior from
Waco were selected for the com
petition because of their perfor
mances in the Aggie Players pro
duction of “Tango”.
Although the Aggie Players
did not bring any scholarships
home, they did well.
“There were over 150 nomi
nees just from this region, and
one of our students did make it
to the semifinals: Richard Stra
yer,” Schultz said. “He was one
of the last 24 to audition; he did
really well.”
The second part of the festival
in which the Aggie Players com
peted was the Theatrical Design
Excellence award. Susie Charl
ton, a senior from Philadelphia,
was nominated for her costume
designs for “Liliom.” Joyce
Hayes, a senior from Richmond,
was nominated for the same
award for her scenic design for
“Tango.”
“Joyce is an impressive Ten
derer and she did a very nice de
sign, but because we’re an un
dergraduate institution, we’re
also in competition with grad
uate students from places such
as t.u., L.S.U., Texas Tech and
Oklahoma,” Schultz said.
“People who won design compe
tition were all graduate students.
“I think had they been com
peting only against undergrad
uates, both Susie Charlton, who
did costume design for “Liliom”
and Joyce Hayes probably would
have won or come in second or
third,” he said.
The difficult competition
does not dampen the Aggie
Players’ spirits, and Schultz said
they are planning to enter at
least one production next year.
“What we’re trying to make
clear to everyone is that you can
major in anything and still be on
the Aggie football team, and you
can major in anything and audi
tion for the plays and take part
in Aggie Player productions,”
Schultz said. “If you’re an Aggie,
you’re welcome to come audition
for the shows." ^
