Spokane Civic Theatre's production of Assassins received the “Best in Region” award at the 2007 Kaleidoscope Regional Community Theatre Festival at the end of March. It now moves on to Charlotte, NC in mid-June to compete in the national competition.The production was sold out in the small Studio Theatre, so the Civic is giving audiences one more opportunity to see it, this time in the larger Main Stage. The special performance takes place Saturday, April 28 at 8 p.m. The proceeds benefit the traveling competition production.
Assassins received the “Best in Region” award at the Region IX AACT/Fest 2007 in Tacoma, WA on Saturday, March 31. Performers George Green (Lee Harvey Oswald) and Patrick McHenry-Kroetch (John Wilkes Booth) also received recognition at the festival for individual performance awards as part of Region IX’s “All Star Cast.”
Spokane Civic Theatre previously won the “Best in State” award at the Washington State Festival, Kaleidoscope 2007, in Walla Walla, WA, on Sunday, March 11, which solidified its advancement to the regional competition. By securing the “Best in Region” award in Tacoma, Assassins will now advance to the national competition.
In the past, Spokane Civic Theatre’s involvement in AACT led to its “Best in Nation” titles for the productions of Lonely Planet (1999) and Getting Out (1989). Spokane Civic Theatre is the only community theatre in the country to place “Best in Nation” twice.
