For Participating Productions Only Summary Comments about the Participating production NEW: If you are not recommending this show for inclusion in the Regional Festival, please still provide a few sentences on the strength of the production. We are sending letters to directors/institutions for all participating productions and include positives from the shows. Understand that these comments provide the selection committee with the only evidence of this production’s merit. Please clearly describe the performance using the structure that follows. Written responses that are too brief, leave the committee asking a lot of questions. However, written responses that are very long are sometimes difficult to decipher. In other words… Please completely and clearly describe the performance, but don’t write a book. When possible leave out references to the school and names of people. (ie: default to: the school, the director, the set designer,…) While these comments are not shared with the producing school, it is possible that the director or other members of the faculty of that institution may be on the selection committee. For concerns or private feedback you may send an e-mail to chair@kcactf2.org. For all ranking questions; 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest.

It’s strengths and weaknesses? What about this production do you feel makes it a worthy show to invite to festival? This is where you can make the case for a show that may not be as polished as some but serves an important place in terms of the student work or for students to be exposed to this work. Are there significant challenges you can see to bringing to festival? This may be needing to reformat to a proscenium, extensive design elements, special effects/rigging, etc.? These answers will not preclude any productions from being considered but will give the Festival Production Manager and Venue technical staff the opportunity to have appropriate conversations with the producing institution.
