Countdown to AACTFest <strong>2023</strong>!<br />
Join us as we celebrate the return of community theatre together<br />
The national festival will feature the 12 productions that<br />
have received top honors in their respective state and<br />
regional festivals. All participating theatre companies<br />
adhere to a common set of rules documented in the<br />
AACTFest <strong>2023</strong> Handbook aact.org/handbook.<br />
We are less than six months away from celebrating the<br />
return to theatre with a festival that you will not forget!<br />
Theatres that have been selected to advance from state<br />
to regional festivals are listed on the Moving On section<br />
at aact.org/23 and here in Spotlight (see page 24). You’ll<br />
also find information on upcoming state and regional<br />
festival on the AACT Calendar (page 46) or aact.org/<br />
calendar.<br />
Plan now to attend AACTFest <strong>2023</strong> in Louisville,<br />
Kentucky, for amazing theatre productions and a host<br />
of workshops, parties, and special events. Register now<br />
before the early-bird deadline expires.<br />
