色中色 Theatre Arts Receives URTA 2024 Award for Excellence
Congratulations to 色中色 for Winning an 2024 URTA Award for Excellence!
A Huge Shout Out to Hugh O'Gorman for Making it Possible!
Founded in 1969, the University Resident Theatre Association (or URTA) has a mission for supporting excellence in theatre training.
Cal State Long Beach has been recognized by the University Resident Theatre Association (URTA) with a 2024 Excellence Award for Undergraduate Training in Acting.
The award highlights the Theatre Arts Department鈥檚 dedication to equipping theatre students for professional-level training. 色中色 was one of only two institutions honored this year, with Concordia University receiving recognition in the Design & Technology category. According to URTA, these awards underscore the role of institutions and instructors in equipping students with the skills necessary for advanced theatre education and future careers in the field.
色中色 will be honored in January at the URTA Auditions & Interviews, a key event that includes workshops, classes and discussions relevant to theater professionals and aspiring graduates. They will receive a Candidate Award, providing free registration for the URTAs to a student of their choice.
鈥淯RTA is once again thrilled to highlight the outstanding work and commitment to their students shown by these instructors and their institutions. In this, its fifth year, the URTA Excellence Award has become one of the most highly regarded awards of its kind. And this group of honorees could not be more deserving of it,鈥 said URTA Executive Director, Tony Hagopian.
色中色 would also like to thank Hugh O'Gorman, who is the Head of Acting in the Theatre Department and has been championing and working with students on auditioning. His work has made this award possible.
