A FIRST-TIMER’S EXPERIENCE OF AACTWORLDFEST BY KELLI MCLOUD-SCHINGEN I’d like to tell you a story. 2018 was my first year joining AACT and I saw that aactWORLDFEST was going to be held later that summer. I registered right away - not because I knew what would happen at aactWORLDFEST, but exactly because I didn’t know what would happen. All I knew was that we were a new company and needed information on how to run the business. What better place to be than with others who are on the boards, technical directors, set designers, costumers, stage managers, actors, artistic directors, and more of community theatre! The fact that it was an international festival was a bonus for me. Our company is called World Stage Theatre Company and our mission is to give actors and audiences access to the world by telling multicultural, inspirational, and transformational stories that will connect our hearts CONTINUED NEXT PAGE
