The Theatre Department has been granted the prestigious opportunity to showcase a scene from their fall production of "THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged) [revised]" at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) Region 5 event in Des Moines, IA. This event, scheduled from January 16th to 22nd, 2024, is a celebration of excellence in college theatre and draws participants from across the nation.
KCACTF Region 5 encompasses states including Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska, making it a platform that brings together the finest in collegiate theatre from across the country.
ICC Theatre's participation is a testament to the exceptional work of its students under the guidance of Paul Molnar, Director of Theatre Performance and Joel Williams, Director of Technical Theatre. Molnar expressed his pride in the students, stating, "I am extremely proud of the work that our students have done over the past few years. KCACTF is a wonderful opportunity for our students to see the work that is happening around the country, as well as interview and audition for summer jobs and internships, seek out 4-year programs, attend workshops, and see the work happening with other young artists. It is a great honor to be invited to perform, and I look forward to sharing our program's work with the Region."
The week-long conference in Des Moines promises a rich experience for participating schools, offering a platform for learning, networking, and celebrating the vibrant tapestry of collegiate theatre. ICC Theatre will not only entertain the audience with a scene from their production but also actively engage with the broader theatre community.
