Heading home

KCACTF (Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival) has ended, and we're headed back to San Diego.

Although McKenna and Lizette did not progress out of the preliminary round in the Irene Ryan Competition, they all had a great experience. The students saw plays, attended workshops and panel discussions, and apparently there was karaoke involved. 



City College will be participating in KCACTF next year (at Fullerton, CA), and we look forward to greater involvement in this program. To learn more, go here.
