KCACTF is a year-round program in eight geographic regions in the United States. Regional activities are coordinated through eight KCACTF 区域 chairs and eight KCACTF playwriting awards chairs. With funding and administrative support from the Kennedy Center, the 区域 chair coordinates with the Co-Managers of KCACTF all aspects of the adjudication of productions on the local and 区域 level and supervises 区域-level KCACTF award competitions. The playwriting chair works with schools that have entered new and student-written plays by providing expertise in the development of new scripts--assessment specifically designed for a developing play--and by providing information on the numerous playwriting awards offered.
