UCA Theatre this week again hosts the Arkansas Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF). Eight universities from Arkansas and Oklahoma will be presenting fully-staged productions through Saturday in the Bridges/Larson Theatre and Donald W. Reynolds Performance Hall.
KCACTF encourages, recognizes and celebrates the finest and most diverse work produced in university and college theatre programs across the country. Each production will be viewed by out-of-state respondents who will recommend at least one production be considered for entry in the Region VI festival to be held at Sam Houston State University in February 2008. The Region VI area includes colleges and universities from Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Seven plays will be chosen from this five state area to perform at the Region VI festival. The winner of the Region VI festival will be invited to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. in April 2008.
Colleges and universities attending the Arkansas festival are UCA, Lyon College, Arkansas State University at Beebe, John Brown University, the University of Arkansas at Ft. Smith, Rogers State University of Claremore, Oklahoma, University of the Ozarks, and Henderson State University.
All performances are free and open to the public. Tickets are not required. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. More information is available at UCA Theatre?s website at www.uca.edu/theatre or by telephone at 501-450-5092. Some material may not be suitable for children.
