KCACTF
Every January, Northwestern theatre students attend the regional Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF), a gathering of students from undergraduate and graduate theatre programs in an eight-state region. Northwestern students often earn recognition in acting, design and playwriting competitions. Regional winners travel to the national festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.; five Northwestern College theatre students have earned this distinction so far. Recent KCACTF recognition for NWC:
- Certificate of Merit: cast, Terror Texts
- Certificate of Merit: Jeff Barker, director, Terror Texts
- Certificate of Merit: Brady Huffman, costume design, Terror Texts
