Next Step Auditions/Interviews
KCACTF Region 6 and Region 7 are delighted to combine efforts this year to offer auditions to connect students with hiring companies and graduate-level programs. Next Step Auditions strive to bridge the undergraduate experience with graduate education and professional companies. We also seek to align two-year college program graduates with four-year college and university opportunities. Actors, musicians, and technicians may submit videos and digital portfolios to be seen by select companies and programs.

How to Participate
ALL Initial submissions for auditions in the 2024 Festival will be online. Auditions will be viewed with virtual callbacks set up with the individual company during the festival week. To be seen in the auditions you must complete a participation form and submit a video audition and/ or digital portfolio with your resume.
You may also choose to audition in person with those producers attending the festival in person. Please indicate on your audition participation form that you wish to perform a live audition at the festival in addition to your virtual audition application. Many producers are doing online auditions and callbacks only. Some may offer in-person callbacks. Audition and callback dates and times during the festival will be announced later.
