THE KENNEDY CENTER AMERICAN COLLEGE THEATER FESTIVAL XL
Welcome to the Region III of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival!
We are looking forward to having you involved in our 40th Annual Festival on the campus of Cardinal Stritch University and Marquette University. The dates are January 8-13, 2008. We are thrilled to have students, faculty, professionals and the general public to return to Milwaukee, WI. Each year, over 1,500 students and faculty attend our Region III Conference. The excitement of thriving theatre is shown with productions chosen from the hundreds of productions that are entered throughout each year at the associate or participating level and responded by the regions colleagues.
We have a few changes happening this year. The semi-final and final rounds of the Irene Ryan Competition will take place at the Varsity Theatre on Marquette University campus. The Evening of Scenes will take at the Weasler Theatre at Marquette.
The Design and Technology has expanded into the third area of the Kleibhan Center. More room for more exciting Realized and In-Class Productions.
Production locales include the University Theatre and Studio Theatre at Cardinal Stritch University; Helfaer Theatre at Marquette University; and The Pabst Theatre for Friday and Saturday Night.
The hotels are listed on the following pages. Please be aware of changes with hotel policies. We are asking that all universities have faculty chaperones stay at the same hotel as their students for supervision. Hotels will be asking for additional information in regards to the adult supervision.
We are looking for student volunteers to assist in all areas of festival programming: Registration, Special Events, National Playwriting Program, Directing, Irene Ryan, Dramaturgy, National Critics Institute, Design, Technology and Management, and Invited Productions. We will be offering a number of registration grants this year for students selected for leadership positions. If interested, please contact Stephen Hudson-Mairet. His email is stephen.hudson-mairet@marquette.edu.
We continue to work on making this site convenient for you, but if you need any information that you can’t find here, please do not hesitate in contacting us with your question. We look forward to seeing you in Milwaukee in January.
