Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival
On behalf of our entire campus community, welcome to Fitchburg State College! We're very pleased to again be hosting the Region I Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. Last year's festival was an unqualified success, and it was a pleasure to meet so many of the students and witness their performances. The quality and variety were extraordinary, and we all have reason to be proud of our region's many triumphs.
On a personal note, I would like to recognize our English/Theater, Technology and Cultural Affairs Departments. We at Fitchburg State have become accustomed to hosting outstanding productions, whether by our own theater groups or national- and world class visiting performers. All who dedicate themselves to mounting these productions reflect the larger campus, which has established a reputation for its relentless drive towards excellence in all that it does.
While North Central Massachusetts is alive with the arts, few institutions can lay claim to the depth and breadth of the productions offered at Fitchburg State. We are the cultural center of the region, which dovetails with our larger efforts to reach out to the community and truly add to the richness of our citizens' lives.
The festival offers students so many opportunities-the rigors and excitement of competition, of course, but also the chance to learn from faculty and fellow students, and to grow both professionally and personally. These are noble goals, and we welcome the chance to assist them.
In closing, I'd like to thank those members of the regional community who have stepped forward to help us with hosting this year's KCACTF Events: City of Fitchburg; Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School; City of Leominster, Enterprise Rental Car; OfficeMax, the Johnsonia; and the FourPoints Sheraton Hotel.
Once again, welcome and best wishes. I look forward to personally greeting many of you during your stay in our community. For a full lineup of Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival events, visit the Region I site.
Sincerely,
Robert V. Antonucci
President
