Trumbauer Festival 2019
ACT congratulates the over 2000 students from 99 schools who competed in our Secondary Festival this past weekend. You impressed our judges and brought honor to our state! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this event a success, especially the staff, faculty, and students of Troy University who went above and beyond for us. We hope all who attended were inspired to continue growing and learning while networking and supporting each other in our Alabama theatre family!
