Divisions for everyone
Much of the work of SCTA takes place within its five constituent
divisions:
- Community Theatre, including the annual
American Association of Community Theatre Festival. The winner of this
statewide competition is invited to compete at the Southeastern Theatre
Conference convention, with the possibility of advancement to national
and international festivals.
- Professional Theatre, including
defining new standards for professionalism and leading in the
development of new professional theatres in South Carolina.
- College and University Theatre,
including the annual Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival
which features some of the best in college and university performances
from around the state. Actors, designers, directors, playwrights and
entire productions can be considered to be invited to the regional and
national KCACTF.
- Secondary School Theatre, including the
annual festival of one-act plays. Winners of this competition are
invited to compete at the Southeastern Theatre Conference convention.
- Theatre for Youth (formerly Children’s
Theatre Division) of SCTA has once again joined hands with the South
Carolina Speech and Theatre Association (SCSTA) to co-host the third
annual SOUTH CAROLINA STATE YOUTH FESTIVAL. This festival is
unique to the southeast, serving all public and private middle school
and junior high school students (grades 5-8). Students choose from over
ten categories (solo acting, duet acting, makeup design, etc.) a piece
to bring to the festival where it is judged by professional theatre
specialists. This exciting day is always completed with a lively trophy
recognition ceremony. If you teach grades 5-8 and would like to bring
students to this festival, please contact John Spiegel at
jspiegel@presby.edu. The 2009 festival is scheduled for March 28,
2009, at Pinewood Preparatory School, Summerville, South Carolina. It
will be hosted by Shannon Horne.
