This production is entered in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KC/ACTF). The aims of this national theatre education program are to identify and promote quality in college-level theatre production. To this end, each production is eligible for a response by a regional representative and certain students are selected to participate in KC/ACTF programs involving awards, scholarships and special grants for actors, playwrights, designers and critics at both the regional and national levels.
Productions entered on the participating level are eligible for inclusion at the KC/ACTF regional festival and can also be considered for invitation to the KC/ACTF national festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Last year more than 900 producers and 18,000 students participated in the American College Theatre Festival nationwide. By entering this production, Rhode Island College Department of Music, Theatre and Dance is sharing in the KC/ACTF goals to help college theatre grow and to focus attention on the exemplary work produced in college and university theatres across the nation.
