STEP 1: Let us know what you’re interested in doing at Festival 56

In order to receive all deadlines and information for the various area tracks at the festival (acting, directing, playwriting, etc.), all student participants must fill out a Program Information Form.  It is important to select ALL the areas in which you wish to participate, including ones for which you were nominated, or for which you plan to self-nominate.

The Program Information Form is required of all student participants. This form is NOT your festival registration. That happens in Step 2!

STEP 2: Register for the Festival

School/Group Registrations:

For schools to register their faculty and students, each school must create a registration account.  The Account Owner is the person responsible for registration payment. This is usually a faculty member or administrator coordinating KCACTF activities for your school.

Please follow this Registration Link to create your account, register participants, and pay.

Individual Registrations:

If students or faculty members are registering individually, use the same Registration Link to create your individual account, register yourself, and pay.

Before registering yourself, confirm if your school is registering you!  We do not want anyone to pay for duplicate registrations.

For all Registrations:

If you need to edit or add festival registrations, please use this Registration Lookup and Modification Form. Make sure that you use the same email address for all registration activities.
