Production Responses

The foundation of ACTF is the production response. A school can register their upcoming production(s) for a production response, and a trained, visiting faculty member (or ACTF trained respondent) will attend a performance of that production. Post show, they will engage with students and faculty in a dialogue about the production, the process, and the student experience.

Any junior or senior college in the United States accredited by its regional association is eligible to enter productions, as are student organizations directly sponsored by the accredited college.
There is no limit to how many productions a school can enter.
Entries must be registered at least 4 weeks prior to opening.
A school may enter as an Associate or Participating Production. Both receive outside response on their home campuses.
