ADJUDICATOR – 2003- 2015 I have been a regular regional adjudicator for regional productions at other universities as well as student acting competitions through the Kennedy Center
American College Theatre Festival. The assignment requires both an oral and
written response. This activity requires a constant improvement of a person’s
analytical insights and greater articulation in giving a response and describing
strengths and weakness of a particular performance. Since my appointment at
UCF I have adjudicated 13 productions.
