San Bernardino Valley College Theater Arts students dazzled the judges during February's Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) in Mesa, Arizona. Competing in Region 8, SBVC was invited to perform a scene from Alice by Heart, one of just five schools to receive the honor out of 12 states. Individual students also received accolades: Jasmyne Wade won the Aspire Arts Leadership Competition and earned a coveted spot at the KCACTF National Festival in Washington, D.C., and Alexa Salinas was picked to compete at Regionals for Stage Management.
 
The KCACTF gives theater students the opportunity to audition and perform in productions, attend workshops, and meet and make connections with like-minded peers. Students return to SBVC with new skills and appreciation for the arts and apply what they learned while putting on their spring performances.
