Raising the standard of theatre arts and education in South Carolina by facilitating participation and effective communication.

Divisions for Everyone

Much of the work of the South Carolina Theatre Association (SCTA) takes place within its five constituent divisions:

Community Theatre, including the annual American Association of Community Theatre Festival. The winner of this statewide competition is invited to compete at the Southeastern Theatre Conference convention, with the possibility of advancement to national and international festivals.

Professional Theatre, including defining new standards for professionalism and leading in the development of new professional theatres in South Carolina.

College and University Theatre, including the annual Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival which features some of the best in college and university performances from around the state. Actors, designers, directors, playwrights and entire productions can be considered to be invited to the regional and national KCACTF.

Secondary School Theatre, including the annual festival of one-act plays. Winners of this competition are invited to compete at the Southeastern Theatre Conference convention.

Theatre for Youth of SCTA partners with the South Carolina Speech and Theatre Association (SCSTA) each year to co-host the South Carolina State Youth Festival. This festival is unique to the southeast, serving all public and private middle school and junior high school students (grades 5-8). Students choose from over ten categories (solo acting, duet acting, makeup design, etc.) a piece to bring to the festival where it is judged by professional theatre specialists. This exciting day is always completed with a lively trophy recognition ceremony. If you teach grades 5-8 and would like to bring students to this festival, please contact Shannon Horn at shorn@pinewoodprep.com.
