It doesn’t feel much like fall yet here in Kansas, but a select group of outstanding ATF students will be experiencing some relief from the heat when we travel up north to Spring Green, WI for our annual Allen Theatre & Film at American Players Theatre Trip next weekend!

This trip is designed for Theatre & Film Majors to get to experience professional theatre at the highest level and meet and learn from industry professionals! We are grateful to our Administration and Board of Trustees for making this trip possible, it is a life-changing opportunity for our students, and the perfect jumpstart to their career!

This week we had our first week of rehearsal which focused on table-work where we took a deep dive into the text and the characters. Special thanks to our student Dramaturg Abigail Smith for making packets for the actors explaining the Ancient Greek mythology referenced in Eurydice! Her scholarship greatly improved our work!

This week culminated in a read-thru where the entire company (designers/crew/understudies) got to hear the actors share the story. At ATF, we take a holistic approach to the production process and take the opportunity to come together as a team as often as we can; because Allen is Where Opportunity Meets Community!
