Mesa Community College theatre and film arts students recently received 2022 national awards of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival for their production of Antigone.

MCC theatre and film arts students, alumni, faculty and staff produced Antigone as a film during the fall and spring semesters of 2020-21.

The 2022 National Awards of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival for MCC’s production of Antigone were awarded in the following categories.

  • Special Achievement in the Production of a Play (college recognition).
  • Special Achievement in Costume Design: Mesa resident and MCC student Abby Lopez.
  • Special Achievement in Mask Design: Mesa resident and MCC student Lexi Trujillo.
  • Special Achievement in Sound Design: Chandler resident and MCC student Nick Magel.
  • Special Achievement in Dramaturgy: San Tan Valley resident and MCC student Kalie Marie Hagen.

The annual KCACTF recognizes and celebrates the finest and most diverse work produced in university and college theatre programs. During the festivals, students test their talents in a vast array of theatre specialties and earn recognition against rigorous competition from other community colleges, four-year institutions and graduate programs. Nationally, 550 colleges compete in KCACTF, with 71 competing in Region VIII. Approximately 45 of the colleges in Region VIII are four-year schools with the remaining being two-year institutions.
