(KAIR)--A first-place trophy for Theatre Atchison, with the local community theater earning that honor during this month's seven-state region V Theatre Festival at the American Association of Community Theatres.

Now, according to a release, Theatre Atchison “will be one of Twelve award-winning companies from across the country and U.S. Armed Services overseas who will perform at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, in Louisville, during AACTFest 2023," held June 12-17.

In order to transport all that's required to perform Theatre Atchison's “two-time, award-winning production of The Wall,” by Richard Lauchman, to Kentucky, the local theater will hold fundraiser performances next month. That will include performances by Outstanding Actor winner Cameron Carlson and Excellence in Acting winner Charlie Peitsch.

The public fundraising performances will be held on the evenings of May 10 through 12, at 7:00, at Theatre Atchison.

A donation will be accepted for admission, with the funds raised to “help pay the festival costs to take the set, and its crew to Louisville, Kentucky.”

Outside donations are also being accepted.
