“odd Tales” won Texas theatre association’s PlayFest Award
Six Blinn College students presented “odd Tales,” an award-winning play written by Blinn Theatre Arts Director Bradley Nies, at the Texas Educational Theatre Association (TETA) Convention recently in Houston.
Nies’ play had been awarded the TETA’s 2012 PlayFest Award.
“I was really proud of what the kids did,” Nies said. “We were in a banquet room, so the acoustics were terrible, but our students projected well and the audience really laughed.”
The play was presented by Tyler Morton, Brianda Carrasco, Josh Blocker, Jade Brown, Brandon Flippo and Rebecca Flippo, while Technical Theatre Arts Director Kevin Patrick oversaw the technical details and Instructor Jennifer Patrick managed the costumes.
Nies was selected for the TETA’s playwriting committee and Kevin Patrick was named secretary for the TETA college/university interest group at the convention.
Nies recently had another play, “Miss Imogene’s Prize-Winning Roses,” accepted for publication in the March issue of an online e-zine at www.deathheadgrin.com. That play was produced at Blinn in 2009 and directed by student Billy Minter.
The Blinn Theatre Department’s next presentation will be “God of Carnage” at 7 p.m. Feb. 23-25 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Dr. W.W. O’Donnell Performing Arts Center in Brenham. Special high school preview performances will be held Feb. 23-24 at 1 p.m. This show will be Blinn’s entry in the 2012 Texas Community College Speech and Theatre Association Play Festival.
