Vice Chair/ Co-Vice Chair:

The Regional (Co)Vice Chair(s) work collaboratively with the Chair and Steering committee to supervise all regional activities that promote the philosophy and programs of KCACTF.  For Region 2, the co-vice chairs may share responsibilities for social media and marketing, coordination of special programs such as Invited Scenes, assist with scheduling and travel planning for the Board, VIP and Guest Artists and more. Furthermore, they collaborate on gathering the requirements of each program area chair to ensure the region provides the appropriate logistical support (space, technology, materials) to that area during Festival. Typically, Vice Chairs take over the Regional Chair position after a term of three years (given interest and ability). Vice Chairs must have at least a part time affiliation with an academic institution in our region. 

Fringe Coordinator:

The Fringe Coordinator is responsible for the parts of theatre that don’t quite fit within other programs. Improv show? 24 Hour Theatre? Cold Read Contest? Design challenge?  Drag Show?  Really anything is possible within this position. This coordinator works with the rest of festival leadership to ensure the students of Region Two have the broadest variety of experiences possible at the conference. What that could mean is up to you– we are looking for a creative leader to engage with our students in new and unexpected ways. 

Recruitment Ambassadors (3-4):

Love Region 2 and want to see us grow? We are gathering a team of new and more experienced faculty or staff members to work on recruiting new schools and programs to join our community. This is a new position but would consist of reaching out to faculty in unaffiliated (or formerly affiliated) schools in our Region, coming up with strategies to reach these schools, and advising/ creating  recruitment materials for Region 2. These positions do not need to be involved with festival planning (but certainly could be).

Northern Respondent Coordinator (NY/ NJ):

A respondent coordinator is responsible for assigning the respondents who attend Associate Productions in a given area of our region.  This is a great way to get involved with regional leadership, without needing to be involved with planning the festival.  You would be responsible for sending out email inquiries and assigning the associate (one respondent) shows in New York and New Jersey. 

New for 2024: Shadow a position!

Interested in seeing what a board member or program coordinator does before, during, and after the festival, but not sure you want to commit to taking on a role? You may be able to shadow a position that will become open in the future to see if it is right for you. A shadow position will be able to see all of the behind the scenes work that goes into creating a great experience for our region but will not have specific tasks to accomplish during that time. 

Students– Get Involved!

Social Media Intern (1-2)

Are you great at social media and want to help produce the content on the official Region 2 Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Tik Tok? We are looking for 1-2 student interns to work with the chair to produce our content and come up with new ideas! If you need an internship through your school we are happy to sign off as supervisors. This position is not paid, but festival registration will be waived for a successful intern. To apply click here.
