Scott to present senior recital at Ouachita October 23
October 19, 2017 - Tiffany Lee
Ouachita Baptist University’s Division of Music will host Scotty Scott in his senior
recital on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. The recital, which is free and open to the
public, will be held in McBeth Recital Hall.
Scott, a senior musical theatre major from Bentonville, Ark., has been a regional
National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) audition finalist and a four-time
state NATS finalist. He also has been a two-time nominee for the Irene Ryan Acting
Competition as well as a Musical Theatre Initiative award nominee at the Region 6
Kennedy Center-American College Theatre Festival.
“I've been very blessed to have had a lot of opportunity to perform here at OBU,”
Scott said. “The professors here are always incredible, and they care so much about
the growth of the students. Without my professors, I wouldn’t have had the learning
experiences that I have had, and I certainly wouldn't be where I am as a performer.”
Scott will begin his recital with Stephen Sondheim’s “Opening Doors” from Merrily We Roll Along, followed by Bock and Harnick’s “Tonight at Eight” from She Loves Me. He will then perform a selection from Greg Allen’s Too Much Light Makes the Baby Goes Blind. Scott will continue with Jeanine Tesori’s “Who I’d Be” from Shrek the Musical and the scene “November 22, 1963” from John Weidman’s Assassins. Scott will conclude the recital with his performance of Menken and Ashman’s “Mushnik
& Son” from Little Shop of Horrors.
“People can expect to see my partners and myself put on a night of dynamic scenes
and songs that will be sure to entertain and challenge the audience in a number of
ways,” Scott said. “It is a very fun recital to perform, and my hope is that the fun
that we are having onstage is infectious and that people will leave with a smile on
their face and new ideas on their mind.”
Scott will be assisted by Elizabeth Griffin, a senior musical theatre major from Pittsburg,
Texas, and his choreographer is Dylan Blackwood, a junior musical theatre major from
Walnut Ridge, Ark.
