AACTFest, the festival process that culminates in a national theatre festival, is sponsored by AACT and is held in odd-numbered years. AACTFest presents a forum for community theatres from AACT's 10 regions to enter productions for adjudication at the national level.
· To provide an optimum learning experience through festival entry, which affirms, supports, and nurtures community theatre companies as they strive toward excellence in theatrical productions.
· To stimulate and inspire community theatre companies to strive for the best work possible and to recognize them for their achievement through an appropriate adjudication process.
· To provide a learning experience in artistic, technical, and management areas for people in attendance through performances, adjudication, and workshops.
· To develop enlightened and discerning audiences for community theatre.
Many criteria are in place to achieve the aforementioned goals. Among the most significant are:
· All theatre companies must meet the same eligibility standards and requirements.
· Maximum time limits are 60 minutes performance time; 10 minutes set-up time and 10 minutes strike time.
· Qualified and impartial adjudicators are essential to the success and fairness of the festival process.
· A production must be performed in the same form as previously adjudicated.
· The house must be closed during each performance.
· The Festival Commission Representative will make the final determination in all matters of dispute during a festival.
· The AACTFest Handbook and related forms are available in Acrobat/PDF form from the AACTFest Handbook page.
· Questions about the festival process may be addressed to the AACT Office at info@aact.org
WISCONSIN’S AACT FEST will be held the weekend of January 20 – 22, 2023 in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.
Now it the time to start planning your entry. If you have questions check the AACTFest Handbook or contact Frank at FRPOET@aol.com [Put AACTFest 23 in the subject line.]
