The Scene Festival and Tech Olympics is a daylong event of exciting theatrical activity. Each school may bring up to 3 scenes (no longer than 15-minutes/scene) to be performed in “round-robin” competitions. During the raucous Technical Olympics, competitors vie in “Olympic” style against-the-clock in events such as “flat lashing,” “light focus frenzy,” and “the costume quick-change.” Students enjoy cheering on their peers in feats of technical skill. Finalists in the Festival of Scenes perform again in the University Theatre for the last round of judging. Awards are given for events held throughout the day ranging from best actor to the fastest quick costume change. We also offer audition and portfolio review slots for prospective students interested in our departmental scholarships.
Cal Poly Pomona’s HSSF is scheduled as the first Scene Festival of the year so students polish old works and/or preview new ones for the SCETA Conference that follows. The Festival evolved from the HS One Act Festival, which began in 1985. For nearly twenty years we have been enjoying this collaboration although space is limited so don’t miss the deadline participation confirmation Fri. Dec. 19. While not slotted to perform, participants can enroll in a variety of workshops including: Color & Light, How To Audition, Improv, Model Building, Scenic Painting, Stage Combat, Stage Make-Up Techniques, Voice Technique, Back Stage/Facility Tours
