It is really great that a well known repertory theatre get to host over 600 community theaters, workshops, a technical theater conference, and the top theater vendors. This is a fabulous opportunity for community theaters to show what it has to offer to a national audience. It is a great way to show an audience that they have developed skill and a team spirit. This festival shows how much other theater goers care about their communities by sponsoring,or giving money to them, so that they can come to these types of festivals.
