AACT Festivals

Sorry for the delay in posting - I've been traveling around the country in March. AACT is hosting the national community theatre festival in Rochester NY in June, and various state and regional festivals are taking place this spring. Some of them happened in the fall - I was an adjudicator for the Region X festival in Kaiserslauten Germany for the US Military bases in Europe in October 2010 - but many happen in the spring. Over the previous three weekends, I saw 22 plays. I was the AACT representative - basically, the person who makes sure that everyone follows the rules - at the Ohio state theatre festival from March 3-5. I was an adjudicator for the New Mexico theatre festival - one of three judges who comments on the shows and determines which show moves on - from March 10-13. Finally, I attended the Texas state theatre festival in Ft. Worth from March 17-20 in support of our MCT entry THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB. I was very proud of director Jane Moore and our talented cast and crew, but they did not advance to the regional. However, it was a good three week run of theatre, and I look forward to seeing the 12 shows that make the national festival this summer in Rochester!
