Officials from the Kennedy Center\u2019s American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) recently nominated HFC acting students Zachary Ross, Samantha Kenbeek and Joshua Neilson for the renowned Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship auditions.<\/p>\n

Ross and Kenbeek\u2019s nominations are based on their performances in HFC\u2019s production of \u201cBug.\u201d Neilson\u2019s nomination is based on his performance in HFC\u2019s production of \u201cThe Diviners.\u201d Ross was also nominated for his performance in \u201cThe Diviners,\u201d earning back-to-back nominations.<\/p>\n

It is quite rare for a student to earn nominations for two consecutive Irene Ryan Acting Scholarships, according to Dr. George Popovich, HFC director of Theatre. \u201cOne nomination is good. Two nominations in a row is very good. Zach is a phenomenally gifted actor,\u201d said Popovich.<\/p>\n

HFC will receive notification in December 2016 if \u201cBug\u201d and \u201cThe Diviners\u201d are regional winners. If so, all three actors will compete at the regional level in January 2017. If successful, they will showcase their talents at the national festival in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Irene Ryan is best known for playing Granny on \u201cThe Beverly Hillbillies\u201d, the 1962-71 CBS sitcom, which earned her an Emmy nomination. She was also a Vaudevillian, who accompanied comedian Bob Hope on his famous military tours and co-starred on NBC Radio\u2019s \u201cThe Bob Hope Show\u201d from 1948-50. Upon her death in 1973, Ryan had no surviving relatives and willed her estate of more than $1 million to start the Irene Ryan Foundation, which awards scholarships to aspiring actors participating in the KCACTF.<\/p>\n

The KCACTF has honored HFC before. HFC\u2019s 2004 production of \u201cThe Tempest\u201d was a regional winner. HFC\u2019s productions of \u201cOne Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest,\u201d \u201cRuined,\u201d \u201cMacbeth,\u201d and \u201cThe Skriker\u201d have also earned KCACTF honors.<\/p>\n

HFC Ballplayers Drafted by MLB<\/h2>\n

By Kurt Anthony Krug<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Roberts\"<\/a>

Kyle Roberts, who played baseball for HFC, was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 5th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Texas Rangers drafted HFC baseball player Kyle Roberts in the 5th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft and the Detroit Tigers drafted former HFC baseball player John Schreiber in the 15th round. A left-handed pitcher for HFC, Roberts graduated with his associate degree in Business Administration from HFC in May. He was a member of the Hawks Academic Team for the winter 2016 semester. The Hawks Academic Team recognizes its student athletes for earning a minimum of a 3.0 grade-point average (GPA) during the semester. Roberts credits HFC for allowing him to get more reps off the mound, gain more experience when facing better, fiercer opponents and maturing as a player. This year marked the first time in more than 20 years that HFC participated in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 12 Playoffs.<\/p>\n

\"schreiber\"<\/a>

John Schrieber, who played baseball for HFC in 2012-13, was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 15th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft.<\/p><\/div>\n

Schreiber, a Rockford native who played for HFC from 2012-13, transferred to the University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH) in Lima, OH, on a baseball scholarship. At UNOH, he set a career record for saves. He received National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) honors this year. \u201cThis is truly a dream come true for me. To have the opportunity to play for the Tigers is the greatest feeling in the world and this is one of the best days of my life. I couldn\u2019t have done this if it wasn\u2019t for the coaching staff, along with my family. I especially want to thank my coaches and teammates for being by my side throughout the whole draft process,\u201d said Schrieber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
