Meet the Theatre Design & Technology Students

The American College Theater Festival (ACTF) is a national theater program involving 18,000 students annually from colleges and universities across the country. ACTF aims to:

  • Encourage, recognize, and celebrate the finest and most diverse work produced in university and college theater programs;
  • Provide opportunities for participants to develop their theater skills and insight, and achieve professionalism;
  • Improve the quality of college and university theater in the United States;
  • Encourage colleges and universities to give distinguished productions of new plays, especially those written by students; the classics, revitalized or newly conceived; and experimental works.

Our Theatre Design & Technology students recently attended the Region 8 ACTF festival in Glendale, CA, taking home some amazing honors for their hard work.
