Great Theatre! Great Learning!
Festivals don't just produce great theatre! Audiences and production companies can learn from highly qualified respondents who view the performances and respond to what they see.

Fringe Festival
Performances abound daily at the SETC Annual Convention, including one-person shows
and experimental theatre, theatre for youth productions and state festival recommended performances. Open to applicants who meet the criteria or are recommended.

High School Theatre Festival
Ten high schools represent their respective states during a two-day theatre festival that presents, critiques and celebrates high school theatre at the SETC Annual Convention. Interested in participating? The process starts in the fall at festivals in each of the ten southeastern states and finishes with the award ceremony Saturday night at the SETC Convention.

Community Theatre Festival
The three-day festival held during the SETC Annual Convention features ten theatres representing their respective states. Biennial winners go to the National AACT Festival. Theatres start the process during the fall within in each of the ten southeastern states.

Theatre for Youth Invitational Festival
(formerly Children's Theatre Invitational Festival)
There is no more vital theatre than that which is created to open the minds of our children to the limitless possibilities that await them.

Three performances feature some of the South's finest Children's Theatre. Performances are Thursday morning during the SETC Annual Convention, followed by a critique session offered by highly respected respondents. A reception sponsored by Pat Whitten/Forrest of New Plays Inc. completes the daylong festivities.
