KCACTF
Our department is proud to participate annually in the Kennedy Center American College 剧院 Festival (KCACTF) -第八区.
作为节日的一部分, most of our productions receive a critical response from a faculty respondent from another college or university in the region. They give the cast and student designers their perspective on our work in an effort to help us strive for excellence in all areas. A small number of productions from our region each year have scenes invited to the annual regional festival and an even smaller number of complete productions, 大约每年8次, are invited to the festival to compete for the opportunity to go to the national festival at the Kennedy Center.
Being invited to the festival is a tremendous honor as our region consists of 127 schools across the states of Hawaii, 犹他州, 内华达, 亚利桑那州, and a good portion of California.
