Consider Donating to Support KCACTF
Please consider a donation to help support the students of the region so they can experience all that this festival has to offer! We strive to keep production and festival registration costs affordable. With rising costs, it is becoming increasingly difficult to continue to produce a robust and vibrant festival. Your donation would help support respondent travel reimbursement, hotel and meal costs for festival guest artists, venue rental, and venue staff labor costs. KCACTF is a volunteer organization, and the leadership of the festival donates their time and talent without compensation. You may enter a small dollar donation using the link below. If you are interested in a large dollar donation, please contact Lindsey Williams at [email protected].
