The Domino Players production of Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett was one of four shows selected from hundreds of college and university productions across the country to perform at the 2007 National Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF). The festival was held in April at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

The production, directed by Jeffrey Lentz ’85, artist in residence, was a finalist in the recent Mid-Atlantic Regional Festival, hosted by SUNY New Paltz. From the eight national regions (and a total of 61 productions in consideration), Waiting for Godot was selected along with productions from the College of Wooster (Ohio), California State University- Fullerton and Boise State University (Idaho).

Waiting for Godot was originally performed at Albright in September 2006 and received critical acclaim from Reading Eagle critic George Hatza who included the production on his “2006 Top Ten List” of regional professional productions.

“We are indeed honored, humbled and championed!” Lentz said. “The level of work that we accomplish is a testament and living legacy to the ground-breaking work of our mentor and champion, the late Dr. Lynn Morrow.”

Albright Students Create a RUCKUS on Campus
Free legal music downloading available to all students through Ruckus.com

Albright has partnered with the online music service Ruckus Network, Inc., of Herndon, Va., to provide students with its music library. The arrangement is sponsored by the Albright Music & Entertainment Industry Student Association (MEISA) through funding by the Student Government Association.

The partnership allows any Albright College student to legally download music from the site, free of charge. The College will pay the contract fee through its use of student activity funds.

“Recognizing that students are practically tethered to their computers and download music for their own entertainment, we wanted to provide the students with a source for free, legal, current, and virtually unlimited music downloads,” said Kristél P. Kemmerer, Ed.D., acting dean of students. “The ‘free’ provides a perk for Albright students. The ‘legal’ is a proactive way of hindering illegal downloads which makes the student and the College liable for copyright infringement.”

Ruckus Network, Inc., provides a premier digital entertainment network designed specifically for college students. The Ruckus experience blends college students’ top interests – friends and entertainment – to create a strong sense of community at colleges across the country. Whether looking for a roommate with similar interests or someone who enjoys hip hop music as much as they do, Ruckus members are able to find friends through media and media through friends.

The Ruckus service gives members easy and immediate access to the library of more than 2.5 million high fidelity, virus-free music tracks from every major label, as well as an impressive and expansive list of independent labels.
