AACTFest

AACT's theatre festivals are part of a multi-year process that culminates in a national festival, held in odd-numbered years. Community theatres from AACT's 10 regions enter productions for adjudication and advancement from state to regional to national level. AACTFest is thus a celebration of theatre and a learning experience for those who take part.

National festivals are major events -- typically more than 600 people participate, with performances of 12 productions, plus workshops and exhibitions. Awards are presented for outstanding work in performance, including production, acting, directing, lighting, sound, sets, costumes, and more. 

And it's fun!  Check it out in "The Festival Experience" video.
