The Richland Campus Theater Department has been well-known in the theater community for some time, their quality performances in competitions and entertainment venues winning them awards and recognition locally and nationally. Most recently the theater department competed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. in the American College Theater Festival, and after some deliberation on the Select Committee’s part, the Richland Campus’s production of “Self-Injurious Behavior” was selected as a finalist.

The Richland production of “Self-Injurious Behavior” by Jessica Cavanagh has received more national accolades. Theater Professor Andy Long made the announcement Friday on Facebook. The production received seven individual national commendations from the Kennedy National Commendations given by the Kennedy Center to accompany the three Company Commendations the cast received in April.
