How to enter a show in The Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival

First decide on the level of participation.  

  •  The Associate category exists for productions that cannot, for whatever reason, tour or be considered for the national festival.   Choose this if you only desire a response, possible Irene Ryan nominations, etc.
  • The Participating category is intended as a showcase for the finest work the school can produce; to qualify students for awards; and to give faculty, student directors, and student designers experience, visibility, and responses from colleagues outside the home institution.  Choose this if you desire your production to be considered by the regional selection committee to perform at the regional festival.
