A note from David Sullivan, director of the Theatre Program at Lehman:

Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to share with you that our Theater Program has earned two Merit Awards in Acting Performance from the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KC/ACTF) Region 1 for the fall productions of MARISOL and NOISES OFF.
The Acting Company of MARISOL earned an award for “Meritorious Achievement in Cohesive Ensemble” Performance and junior theater major Emmanuel Delgado from the cast of NOISES OFF earned an award for “Extraordinary Characterization & Performance Through Physical Comedy.”
These are awards recommended by the respondents from the KC/ACTF program, and I am proud of our students and program for the achievement.  
Here is some information on the Kennedy Center ACTF program that presents the awards:
Started in 1969 by Roger L. Stevens, the Kennedy Center’s founding chairman, the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) is a national theater program involving 18,000 students from colleges and universities nationwide which has served as a catalyst in improving the quality of college theater in the United States. The KCACTF has grown into a network of more than 600 academic institutions throughout the country, where theater departments and student artists showcase their work and receive outside assessment by KCACTF respondents.

“I just wanted to take a minute, and thank you and your staff for organizing such a wonderful event yesterday. I attended “The Kids Rule Weekend” on Saturday with my husband and daughter. We had a wonderful time ! The organizers interacted so well with everyone, they were very friendly and encouraged all the children to participate. As a graduate of Lehman College, I was so proud of the work that you and your staff are doing. Please keep up the good work, we need more of these type of events in our community. This event gave my daughter an opportunity to see some of Lehman campus, and she told me when she gets older she wants to attend Lehman too !!! Thank you all for organizing a great day!!!!!” – Judith Greene.

Every summer, since 2007, The Kids Rule Weekend has been bringing Bronx families together – for three days of theatre, music, magic, water slides, pony rides and much, much more.
All for free. All on the beautiful campus of Lehman College.
Why?
Because Kids Rule!
