2002 Festival Schedule of Entries, Monologues and Guest Performance
This is our annual regional one-act play festival, which biannually also determines the Region 10 entry into the American Association of Community Theater (AACT) National Festival. Overseas US Forces theater departments (Europe and Korea) bring their best productions to this festival of short dramas, comedies, and musicals. After each performance, the show is judged and openly critiqued by an international panel of professional judges. The weekend also includes workshops in acting, music, and directing as well as a monologue competition and a guest performance.
Admission to all activities is free to the public.NOTE FOR LOCAL PARTICIPANTS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MILITARY: In view of increased security measures that will likely still be in place during the Festival, it will be the responsibility of each participating community to sign each of their non-ID card participants on and off Heidelberg installations during the weekend events (including US Passport holders). Members of the local Heidelberg public who would like to attend should contact us a few days before your arrival so we can add your name to our guestlist at the gate.
Here is the schedule thus far. More entries and changes will be announced as they are received.
