Some general thoughts:

I thought it would be helpful to keep as much of a running total of the festivals I was organizing to see a comparison of numbers over the past 5 years. As you can see from the chart above, we are at the highest number of registrants ever in our region. Guests and VIPS numbers are holding rather steady to run the festival,…and faculty and day registrants really vary, based on location of festival. The most encouraging statistic is that the total number of academic institutions (not students, but schools as a whole) participating has gone up by 21 schools! This is a number I only tracked from 2012, but is worth noting. As for the regional entries, since the re-division of regions in 2010, you can see we have drastically increased our total number of entries…California accounts for roughly 11% of our entries… …and finally, it’s worth noting that while entered production numbers have varied from 86 to 174, the total number of institutions has remained eerily steady! (41 to 51). It seems to suggest that even in tough times, schools are simply entering fewer shows, but still participating. Below are stats and comments on various individual events and the festival. Thanks. Leigh Selting

Actual Participants: Total all categories: 54 Some DTM observations…. General response from participants of the Expo was quite positive. They enjoyed the respondent’s comments, finding them accessible and willing to provide additional individual feedback when time allowed. We had a great room this year for the Expo, not too cramped for space… in part because our participation was down by at least 20-30% from past years. Not sure why. In light of the new policy from the National regarding design entries (if a school has at least one entered show, then all produced student design/tech work can be entered for national categories), we really have no continued need for the NWDC level 2 categories. We will continue to do the Regional NWDC awards for classroom/ theoretical work (level one), but now ALL realized work will be eligible for National awards. -- John Hill, DTM Chair - Region VII

Notes: The numbers of new plays entered as associate or participating productions also fell slightly from last year with 22 so far (i.e. Feb. 26) compared with 27 this past year. Among the four plays presented at conference and the two alternates there was one devised piece and one adaptation from a Greek classic to a Noh drama. Most of the playwriting workshops and all of the readings were well attended and other areas reported overflow audiences at most of the presentations and workshops. We had eleven writing workshops plus readings of the six one-act and six ten-minute plays, as well as one full length play. The full-length play reading was part of a new award we initiated this year as the Region VII Certificate of Merit for Full-Length plays. In addition we were overwhelmed with our ten-minute play auditions and the ten-minute plays played to a full house in the 175 seat Studio Theatre. The John

Cauble Short Play presentations played 40- 50 people in the ballroom of the Crown Plaza, the Festival hotel. Both the ten-minute plays and the John Cauble short plays were given brilliant responses by our guests this year. They generated much enthusiasm with the student playwrights and others with their workshops and the quality of feedback. The entries for this year’s consideration continue a recent trend toward issue-oriented stories and subject matter that is both inspiring and difficult. Student playwrights are taking on serious issues in interesting and sometimes startling ways- from moving pieces of deep emotions to using a lighter hand to look at difficult and disturbing issues. It was interesting- and perhaps frightening- to note that the subject matter of most of the selected plays was suicide and/or gun violence. Of course, there are the usual trivial plays and less mature treatment of subjects included in the total but an increasing number of well-developed scripts that is making our selection more and more difficult. - Joseph Gilg

Other Initiatives Overview American River Colo St. Humboldt Reno 2013 2012 2011 2010

ATHE/LMDA/KCACTF Student Dramaturgy Initiative: 4 4

Note: This year our guest dramaturg was Margot Melcon from Marin Theatre Company. She was with us most of the week, leading a variety of well attended workshops. One thing I think we learned from this year's dramaturgy programming is that any dramaturgy workshops that are connected to new playwriting are very popular. We'll think about that more for future years. Margot was an excellent guest - she related well to the students, was very open to one-on-one discussions with them, and was enthusiastic. (She's a KCACTF baby herself, so was giving back.) Participants in the Dramaturgy Initiative: we had four student submissions. (There was a planned fifth, but he decided at the last minute not to submit.) This is about average for us. Margot, Mead Hunter (currently at University of Portland, but the former literary manager at Portland Center Stage) and I began a conversation about strategies for strengthening dramaturgy in the region. We have begun working on a plan whereby we will facilitate professional dramaturgs visiting universities for one or two day workshops to help promote dramaturgy at the university level. This is in the baby stages of discussion, but I think it has real potential. -- Michael Phillips

American River Colo St. Humboldt Reno 2013 2012 2011 2010

Institute for Theatre Journalism and Advocacy: 4 10 15

Note: This year out guest journalist was Barry Wisdom, who previously wrote for BackStage West, and currently writes for a couple of different online publications in the Sacramento area. Barry was a last minute replacement (our lined up guest got a new job and was unable to attend the festival), so he was a lifesaver. He was not, however, particularly good with the students. As he graciously stepped in at the last minute, this isn't a complaint - it's just a reality. Luckily, both Mead Hunter and I were in the room (Mead as a secondary reader each day), so we were able to keep the conversation focused for the most part. This year was strange in terms of attendance. We have, in the past, had very good attendance. Typically, we have 12-18 students (which is why I recruit 2-4 additional readers so that we can respond to each students' writing in the allotted time). That means we're almost always at maximum capacity, and have had no attendance problems in all the time I've been doing this. However, this year, we ended up with only four students. We started out with 7, but one never showed up and two decided not to do the workshop after the first day. Also, we usually have a number of students show up on the first day who didn't preregister for the workshops, but this year that didn't happen. So, we ended up with only four. It could be that the name and emphasis change has something to do with that. It may be that students (and faculty) still don't understand what the change entails and therefore aren't gravitating to it as they did to NCI. That falls to me to publicize this better next year and see if we can bring the numbers back up. We once again used Dropbox for all submissions, which seemed to work very well. -- Michael Phillips

Devising Initiative 2 4 n/a n/a

Note: The main slot for the devising initiative was Wednesday and Thursday from 1:30 to 3:30. That’s when the schools showed their devised pieces and then respondents gave public feedback – Bill Bowers, Rich Brown, and Kevin Elder of Tricklock Company. In addition, we offered four other

devising workshops each day in the 10:30am to 12:00 noon slot. For the initiative, we received lots of interest from schools initially...then ultimately, of the 7 signed up for the conference, only 2 performed and received feedback. If students from programs without faculty interested in devising had some way to receive some guidance from the national website, we believe more students would be able to bring pieces to festival. The two groups who performed drew a diverse audience of students from numerous institutions who are “planning to bring a piece next year.” ----Rich Brown

SDC Student Directing entries: 2013 2012 2011

16 17 18 Note: Everything went smoothly. This year we had the greatest variety in scene selection as we saw all of the pre-chosen scenes on stage except for Milk Like Water. Bravo to the National Director for choosing a great list of scenes. -- Rhett Luedtke

Undergraduate Theatre Scholarly Paper entries: 2013 2012 2011 5 4 n/a

Note: There were five submissions to the Scholarly Paper Competition on the undergraduate level and none on the graduate level. Two were from Western Washington University (one Winner and an Honorable Mention) and three attended Linfield College (one Winner). Four of the papers were exceptional. All five students were invited to participate in a panel of scholarly papers, but only two could be in attendance at the festival. Plans for the panel were canceled. The two winning students have been asked to submit their papers to The Western States Theatre Review, 2014. They have done so, and I anticipate their work will likely be included in the next issue. Of the eight papers submitted in last year’s competition, three were published in The Western States Theatre Review, 2013, both Winners and the Honorable Mention. – George Caldwell

The 2013 Next Step program offered opportunities to over 150 actors and 15 design/tech students, and 15 professional companies and training programs. We continued relationships with companies Actors Theatre of Louisville, Kaiser Permanente Educational Programs, PCPA, Kingsmen Shakespeare, Stella Adler Conservatory, Missoula Children’s Theatre, Livermore Shakespeare, Mt. Baker Summer Theatre, CSU Summer Arts, Western Stage, along with new companies B Street Theatre, Capital Stage Company, Theatre West and Open Jar Conservatory as well as several BA/BFA completion programs. The program offered a workshop with John O'Hagan of U. of Wyoming and Reid Davis of St. Mary's College called "How to Make the Most of 90 Seconds: Next Step Strategies" attended by 65 students. Most participating acting programs called back between 20-30 students and many students were offered scholarships and professional contracts. Moving forward, we anticipate a restructuring and clarification of registration procedures to insure that we receive headshots and resumes along with registration forms and payment at the time of student registration. --- Reid Davis

Evening of Invitational Scenes participants 2013 2012 2011 11 10 n/a

Note: The Evening of Scenes played to a sold-out crowd this year in a house of 165 with added chairs on the floor. We turned away an equivalent amount of viewers due to lack of space. 11 scenes were performed representing 10 Associate Productions from throughout the region. Each participating scene received a commemorative plaque honoring their outstanding work and contribution to both the region and festival. ---Michelle Felten

Meet & Greet for Two-Year, Transfer Students and Graduate Interviews

Note: Approximately 12 schools participated, with over 50 students coming by to speak to school representatives. Pizza was provided on a first come, first serve basis. It appears to be a strong event that could be even stronger with more publicity throughout the week. Attendance has been larger in the past, but only when the Meet & Greet was held in the theatre lobby with a considerable number of students passing through. --- Leigh Selting & George Caldwell

Tech Olympics Note: A popular event, attended by numerous “teams” and individuals from various schools. It works very well as an evening, “after show” activity at the host hotel, not the school! We combine it with the announcing of Irene Ryan Finalists, and it draws a very large number of students.---Leigh Selting

Beyond Words Festival Keynote Performance

BILL BOWERS - BEYOND WORDS a collection of Mime, Music, and Monologues: a poignant journey that continues Bowers' ongoing investigation of silence in our culture. Set against the backdrop of "Small town America," BEYOND WORDS takes the audience on a funny and poignant journey of sound and silence. One of the most acclaimed mimes in America today, Bill Bowers' eloquent movement evokes the deepest truths of the human condition. Often compared to Chaplin and Keaton, Bowers has truly created a style all his own. Bowers is a student of world-renowned mime Marcel Marceau, and has performed and conducted workshops throughout the U.S, Europe and Asia. His acclaimed original shows have been produced Off-Broadway to critical raves. The New York Times has said "To see Bill Bowers is to see the technical elements of a style that bring Marcel Marceau readily to mind. Mime can be wonderful...the air between him and us was his palette."
