About the Humana Festival CD-ROM
In honor of the 30th Anniversary Humana Festival of New American Plays, in 2006 Actors Theatre created a special CD-ROM which includes a full chronology of the Humana Festival, plus unique perspectives that commemorate the history of this internationally acclaimed new play festival, a list of awards and recognitions bestowed upon Humana Festival plays over three decades, and information about Actors Theatre of Louisville, the home and producer of the Humana Festival. This information is updated each year on our website.

Chronology—Plays and Playwrights
The chronology is searchable by individual productions (click on Plays), or by playwright (click on Playwright). Within the chronology you can find links to detailed information on who performed in, designed and worked behind-the-scenes on each festival play.

Perspectives
Perspectives includes stories from playwrights, directors, critics, artists, as well as design, production and adminsistrative staff, who have all been a part of the Humana Festival history.
