The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts hosts more than 150 outstanding theater students from colleges and universities across the nation as part of the 48th annual Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF), which runs April 12-16, 2016 in multiple locations throughout the Center. Thousands of student artists from eight regions across the country presented their work at regional festivals from January 5 through February 27, 2016 and more than 150 were selected to travel to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., for an all-expenses-paid trip to participate in the national festival.

The festival includes readings of short plays featuring the finalists of the Gary Garrison National Ten-Minute Play Award as part of the Michael Kanin Playwriting Awards showcase and the John Cauble Award for Outstanding Short Play; public auditions for the Irene Ryan National Acting Scholarships; the opportunity for participants to take part in master classes and engage with colleagues from across the nation and the Washington, D.C. theater community; and a closing day ceremony for awards in production, directing, choreography, acting, writing, design, stage management, dramaturgy, and theater criticism. The College of Fellows Jane Alexander Award for Acting will also be awarded and presented by Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan, during the scholarship and awards presentations of the Irene Ryan National Acting Scholarships held in the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater on Friday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m.

Developed in 1969 by Roger L. Stevens, the Kennedy Center's founding Chairman, the KCACTF encourages and celebrates the finest and most diverse theatrical productions from colleges and universities nationwide. The eight regional festivals and the national festival provide an opportunity for college and university theater departments to showcase their achievements in production, celebrate their students in all disciplines of the art form, and take advantage of a wide array of professional development seminars, workshops, and master classes. Since its establishment 48 years ago, KCACTF has reached millions of theatergoers and has made important contributions to the professional development of countless college and university theater students nationwide.

Students at Broadway Theatre Project attend an intense three-week training program that focuses on the basic disciplines of musical theatre including acting, dance, voice, and the many facets of each. The critical life skills necessary to prepare students to work in the professional world of the musical theater stage are also addressed. Emphasis is not only placed on each individual art form but also on the collaborative process and the collective creation of art. The Project was founded in 1991 by Tony Award-winning dancer, director, and choreographer Ann Reinking, and her associate on many productions and projects for 15 years, President and BTP Artistic Director Debra McWaters, with the help of many other gifted teaching artists, including Jay Binder, Mandy Gonzalez, Donna McKechnie, Chazz Palminteri, Austin Pendleton, and Ben Vereen.
