Caitlin Morgan in running for national scholarship
Caitlin Morgan, a 2005 graduate from Cave Spring High School who is now a senior at Emory & Henry College, will be auditioning Feb. 3-8 for a prestigious national scholarship in acting.
She will be taking part in the 10-state regional competition of the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival in Greensboro, N.C.
Winners at the eight regional competitions will advance to the national auditions at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. in April 2008.
In the fall of 2007, external observers visited two Emory & Henry productions and nominated Morgan and three other students to participate in the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Competition. The competition was founded by the award-winning actress who played “Granny” on "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Irene Ryan Scholarship nominees are required to select acting partners and prepare two contrasting scenes (classical and contemporary) and a monologue for the three-part competition.
