The Junction City Little Theater production of "Arcadia" has been selected as a potential play to represent Kansas at the American Association of Communitty Theatre (AACT) Regional Festival in Salina this April 21st through 23rd.

This coming Sunday (March 26th) at 3 p.m. the JCLT actors and crew that worked on the production for its recent run at the C.L. Hoover Opera House will come together one more time for a shorter 1-hour version of Arcadia called a "competion cut," according to Director Britain Stites. This will be viewed by an AACT adjudicator (judge) to decide whether the JCLT production or a Theatre Atchison, KS play will represent Kansas at the regional festival. "We can show on a state and possibly a regional stage what kind of art, creativity and talent we have in this community," Stites said.

An audience for the special 3 p.m. Sunday performance is encouraged and while there will be no admission a free will donation will be requested to help defray the cost of rights and travel for the festival.
