Welcome to The Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival
Region 5!
Welcome to Region 5 of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. For over 50 years KCACTF has supported and celebrated all things theatre at colleges and universities across the country. I welcome you to join in celebrating the innovation, creativity, and artistry of Region 5. Please explore the website to see the programs available for designers, playwrights, performers, and many other interest areas. You will find that KCACTF offers something for everyone interested in theatre. I also invite you to explore the about section and get to know the team of dedicated volunteers that help make KCACTF a reality.

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 Brad Carlson at [email protected].
