GU Senior Barats a Semifinalist in Play Contest

Luke Barats, a Gonzaga University senior from Eagle, Idaho, has been chosen as one of six semifinalists in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival’s Region VII Ten-Minute Play competition to be held in February at Columbia Basin Community College in Pasco.

The play written by Barats, a double major in theatre arts and history, will be given a staged reading on Saturday, Feb. 25. (A Ten-Minute Play is one that can be performed in 10 minutes.)

One outstanding Ten-Minute play will be chosen for the national competition where playwrights are mixed among regions and matched with Irene Ryan acting scholarship candidates and partners. Two days of intensive rehearsals lead up to performances at the Kennedy Center.
