Wisconsin AACTFest 2025 showcases community theatre talent

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – The Wisconsin Association of Community Theatre (WACT) invites you to experience community theatre excellence at the 2025 Wisconsin AACTFest, to be held on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Southern Door County Auditorium in Brussels, Wisconsin. This event is part of the biannual American Association of Community Theatre (AACTFest) cycle, where participating theaters have the opportunity to progress from state to regional and ultimately to the national festival through adjudication and advancement.
The Wisconsin festival will feature performances by four outstanding Wisconsin community theatre groups, all vying for the chance to advance to the Regional Festival in Michigan. From Wisconsin AACTFest, two productions will earn the honor of representing the state at Regionals.
Productions advancing to the Regional Festival in Michigan will compete for the opportunity to perform at the national AACTFest in Des Moines, Iowa, in June 2025.
