The Actors Theatre of Louisville is hosting its 42nd Annual Humana Festival of New American Plays this spring. They offer college students discounts and special opportunities for networking and workshops through their College Days program, held this year from March 23-25. College Days is a three-day immersion in the world of the renowned Humana Festival of New American Plays. College students and faculty are invited to explore the Festival and connect with people at the forefront of the field. Packages include tickets to astonishing world-premiere plays, participation in career development workshops, and networking events with Actors Theatre staff and Humana Festival creative teams. Prearranged auditions and interviews are available for the Professional Training Company. Each of the four package options allows you to see four of the six shows at HumanaFest this year within the span of just two days.
If you are interested, find more information on their website here. We are unable to make a trip this year as a department, but do consider going if this festival interests you at all. We’ve had students go in the past who have raved about it, and this festival has a world-class reputation in the field of new play development.
