ACTAA and TheatreSquared are partnering this spring to bring Arkansas’ theatre tech students an amazing opportunity to highlight their skills.

Students are invited to create a design portfolio on Noel Coward’s play Blithe Spirit for submission and adjudication by a panel of experts from across the country. If selected as one of the top three in one of three categories, the student will be invited to present their portfolio live at TheatreSquared!

$30 entry fee provides your students an opportunity to grow in their chosen craft, put together a presentation and present it via video, and receive valuable feedback from top designers and directors from across the country and the chance at a $1000 scholarship to the University of Arkansas/Fayetteville in Theatre.
