The CSU Theatre production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee by Rachel Sheinkin and William Finn, directed by Noah Racey, was attended by a Kennedy Center American College Theatre (KCACTF) respondent. Kelly Eldredge, who is the chair of the Red Rocks Community College Theatre Arts and Dance Department, provided feedback on the production and awarded select actors and crew based on their performances and designs.

"To every single artist who contributed to making this wonderful story happen, thank you," said theatre professor Noah Racey. "It is a testament to the production that Eldredge conveyed that choosing isolated elements and performances for recognition was difficult as there were so many options!"

The following students are now eligible to present at the 56th KCACTF Region VII conference in 2024.
