2020-2021 STATE PLAY FESTIVAL - "PLAGUE-FEST"

Like ALL PERFORMING ARTS, TCCSTA had to put events ON HOLD as we navigated the unusual waters of COVID-19.  Our member colleges continued to provide educational performance opportunities for our students throughout the pandemic.  Each college created THEATRE based on respective safety requirements/limitations for each campus.  Being folks who generally have a good sense of humor, we christened that year's Theatre Adventure as "Plague-Fest" 2021.

Below are examples of some of the creative ways in which we forged ahead:
