President’s Letter
Kristi Quinn
AACT President
I love AACTFest! I love going to
theatre festivals and AACTFest
is one of the greatest. I cannot
urge you enough to join us
and experience this wonderful event. You will make
friends—some for an entire lifetime—and learn so
much, while you meet, mingle, and rub shoulders
with community theatre lovers from around the
world.
But, best of all, there are the theatre productions.
The sheer amount and scope of this national
festival is tremendous, and the talent of those in
community theatre, from actors to directors to
technicians is mind- blowing. Plus, you’ll get to meet
them, talk to them, and pick their brains while they
pick yours. Sounds like heaven? It is.
AACTFest 2023 is in Louisville, Kentucky, June 12
through June 17, 2023—just six months away—
at the state-of-the-art Kentucky Center for the
Performing Arts. What fun!
Louisville itself is jam-packed with attractions, even
for those who do not want to see theatre (who are
these people?). Bring your family, bring your friends,
tell everyone you know who loves theatre. None of
them will be disappointed.
With workshops, special events, and exhibits, along
with great performances, it shouldn’t be missed.
Book a room and get registered. Let’s do some
theatre!
