Recently, the American Association of Community Theaters held their annual  
Festival in Tacoma, Washington.  The Theater Association of New York State  
(TANYS) is a member organization of AACT, and has sent out this informative 
 bulletin that I am pleased to share with you!

We hope you enjoyed the AACT Festival in Tacoma as much as we did. The  
Festival was a great opportunity to share our different theatrical experiences  
and also address the critical issues facing our industry. For those AACT 
members  who couldn't make it this time around we hope to see you next year.
