Chapter Select Showcase

Chapter Select Showcase, with performances in the Howell Theatre on the UNL campus every afternoon, is a venue for one-acts that are screened at chapter conferences and are recommended to perform at Festival. Each show is allowed forty-five minutes performance time, ten minutes to set, and five minutes to strike.
To qualify, shows must be adjudicated at a chapter conference by an evaluation team selected by the chapter director or governing board. The evaluation team may recommend one top-quality show (and an alternate in case the first school is unable to attend) for the Chapter Select Showcase from each chapter. These recommendations must be submitted to the home office by the chapter director.
 
Recommended schools will receive the Chapter Select Showcase regulations and an acceptance sheet. The acceptance sheet must be submitted to the home office; upon receipt of the acceptance sheet, a performance slot will be tentatively assigned provided openings are still available. The performance assignment will be confirmed once the entire Festival registration and proof of royalty payment/permission forms are received at the home office.
 

Freestyle Theatre

Freestyle Theatre is a performance venue that is open to anyone and anything. You can still present one-acts, but we want to see so much more—stand-up comedians, magicians, dance routines, cabaret. Freestyle is about performers sharing their talents with an audience, without worrying too much about categories or limitations. Performance times may be as short as ten minutes and as long as thirty minutes.
 
The Freestyle Theatre is open to any member troupe or individual. Each performance slot has ten minutes to set and five minutes to strike.
 
To register for a Freestyle Theatre performance slot, read the regulations, complete the acceptance sheet, and submit them according to the directions. Performance slots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis to those troupes that are fully registered for the Festival (registration forms and payment).
