After presenting The Beast of Hyperborea at TEXFest 2024, ATL was chosen to advance to the South West Theatre Conference (SWTC) in Little Rock, Arkansas in April.
The SWTC is a theatre service organization working to enhance the theatre experience for theatres in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. Theatres from those states gathered to present plays that were adjudicated by theatre professionals. It was held April 4-6 at The Studio Theatre in Little Rock (320 W 7th St, Little Rock, AR 72201). It was a treat to attend. A very small gathering of about five theatres with their cast and crews as well as three adjudicators. Despite the bad luck to be the first one to present at the festival and a couple of technical glitches by the board ops, The Beast of Hyperborea made a decent showing. Although we did not "win" as we did in Victoria back in February, Swearingen still garnered an "Outstanding Actor" Award and we received some overwhelmingly positive feedback from the adjudicators. Big congrats to The Baytown Little Theatre and their production of The Guys. They ended up with the "Outstanding Production" Award. 
 We are thrilled to announce that Audacity Theatre Lab has returned from TEXFest with a collection of nifty awards that shine a spotlight on our production of The Beast of Hyperborea. TEXFest is an biannual theatre conference produced by TNT (Theatre Network of Texas). This year it was held in Victoria, TX from February 21 - 25, 2024 at the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts in Victoria, TX. The conference featured performances from theatres around Texas, workshops and other events. Two productions from TEXFest 2024 were chosen to advance. The Beast of Hyperborea was one of those productions. We will move on to perform at the Southwest Theatre Conference (SWTC) in Little Rock, Arkansas in April. Big congrats to the other advancing production Feeding The Moonfish from Circle Arts Theatre in New Braunfels, TX. And, of course, congratulations to Brad McEntire and Jeff Swearingen for bringing The Beast Of Hyperborea to life on stage. Their hard work and creativity made an impact! ATL received: **Audience Acclaim Award in Acting**: A well-deserved accolade for ole Jeff Swearingen, whose performance captivated everyone. **Winning Show**: The Beast of Hyperborea was recognized as one of the top productions at the conference, a nice achievement for a little one-person fringe show. ATL also received recognition for being an official participating production. Big thanks to the adjudicators Annette Procunier, David Eck, and Michael Winters for some great feedback. On top of the awards for the production, Brad also taught a workshop on "Crafting a Solo Show" and complete extensive adjudication training at TEXFest! It was a busy weekend.! #AudacityTheatreLab #BeastofHyperborea #TEXFest #AwardWinningPerformance #OutstandingAchievement   The Beast of Hyperborea
