OVERVIEW

The U.S. Army Festival of The Arts & Recreation Program Events Competition was established to

recognize and encourage distinguished achievement in entertainment and recreation programming

and productions. The Festival program annually spotlights the dedication, quality of execution, and the

immeasurable extent of commitment made by members of the military, their Families, civilian

volunteers and staff who contribute to the quality of life within their garrison communities.

Festival competitions allow participating garrisons the opportunity to produce and develop a broad

range of programs with limited or existing resources. These unique events and activities provide an

awareness of the importance of embedding recurring Arts and Recreation programs within a military

community. They are the cornerstone of the foundation of support that Family and MWR services

provide around the world and at home.

Professionals specializing in entertainment production, direction, music and recreation programs are

present to judge each event. They meet with performers, production personnel, staff and volunteers to

thank staff for the countless hours of planning and program execution.

In addition to the performance events, non-competitive musical and theatrical workshops are available

to provide participants with performance consultations, audition preparation and improvisational

theatre techniques. The workshops are designed to highlight self confidence, performance awareness

and promote the development of music and theatre programs at garrisons desiring to restore or create

new programs for their communities.

The U.S. Army Festival of The Arts and Recreation Program Events Competition continues to enlighten

and encourage performers to engage Soldiers, Family members and community volunteers. Garrison

performance art and recreation activities enhance core Family and MWR objectives and support Army

Family Covenant initiatives around the world.
