The Alicante Amateur Theatre Festival - Centro Municipal de las Artes. Pza. Quijano, 2

Since 1996, participation in the festival depends on a jury's selection from those projects submitted at the CPTA (Contest of Amateur Theatre Projects). The call for entries is advertised during the first quarter of the year.

Throughout its history (16 editions/2003), the Festival has been host to 81 theatre groups belonging to associations of widely different characters: Cultural, Dramatic, Educational, Social, Youth, Festive, etc. They have performed in different spaces (Lo Morant Park, "Ingeniero de Tranvías" Culture Centre…).

The Principal Theatre has been the Festival's main venue since 1999. Alicante a Escena received the 1997 Micalet Prize for Performing Arts, awarded by the Valencian Government in recognition of the organisation's efforts to promote amateur theatre. The organisers have adapted to offer higher-quality shows, improved technical facilities for participating companies, more comfortable venues for spectators and a wider range of public awareness-raising and training activities through the Parallel Activities.

Moreover, the Festival awards a Prize to the most outstanding productions and a Special Mention to best actor and actress. These awards are announced on the closing day, before the "Guest Company's" performance.

When: September (1st half)
