(KAIR)--Theatre Atchison, Atchison's community theater, earns national recognition, following a trip to Kentucky, the site of the 2023 American Association of Community Theatres Festival, held earlier this month.

According to Theatre Atchison Executive Director Travis Grossman, 96 community theaters overall were initially vying for the opportunity to travel to the festival, with Theatre Atchison, in April, earning a first-place trophy in the seven-state Region V Theatre Festival for the “two-time, award-winning production of The Wall,” by Richard Lauchman.

The Theatre's performance of the production in Kentucky led them to be, Grossman says in a social media post, “one of four companies nominated for overall best performance,” while Atchison's Chuck Pulliam took the award for best hair and makeup design.

Grossman, in his post, says “Theatre Atchison is proud to have been recognized at the national level among the top four theaters for this year's festival!”
