CSUF graduate students Meredith Hinckley and Adam Navarro won BOTH of the national awards in the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Auditions at the Kennedy Center last week (first time two students from the same school have won a “sweep” of both awards).

Meredith received the NAPAT (National Association of Partners of American Theatre) Classical Acting award that includes a 2 week internship at the Shaw Festival. She also received the Sundance Institute Internship for the summer.

Adam received the VASTA (Voice And Speech Trainers Association) scholarship, as well as a yearlong internship at the Shakespeare Company in D.C.

Courtney Howe was named Best Partner in the Irene Ryans. Courtney was Adam’s partner.

Joe Holbrook won the national scholarship for Scenic Design for our production of URINETOWN.

Lighting Designer, Latasha Tobias received the O’Neill Institute Internship for the summer, and an invitation to attend the Broadway Master Lighting Class in NYC in May.

We’re pretty proud of our students today!!!
