COMPETITION
TEAM

After an incredibly successful year at the Junior Theatre Festival (JTF) in 2023 where CST Conservatory premiered Mean Girls, Jr. in the New Works Showcase and took home Best Ensemble for its production of Godspell, Jr., the team is ready to compete again in the 2024 competition AND expand its competition programming!

This year, the new and improved CST Competition Team will be competing at not one, but TWO weekends of competitions in the winter of 2024.  CST Comp team will be attending the Junior Theatre Festival held in January of 2024, AND the National Performing Arts Festival in Orlando, Florida in February of 2024!

Directed by JTF Freddie G. Award-winner Haden Rider and choreographer Arielle Geller, the Competition Team production will be LEGALLY BLONDE, JR.

Students interested in joining the team will need to do the following to participate: 

Audition to be placed on the team;

    • due to a quick turnaround of commitment to the competition weekends, students will need to decide if they will be attending JTF, NPAF, or both.  It is STRONGLY recommended that students audition to be cast in both competitions.
    • CST Conservatory will cast the show based on talent and needs of the show, which could result in double casting some principal roles if a student decides to attend one festival over the other.
  • Participate in a week-long summer boot camp, which will accelerate the learning process of the full-scale Junior show.
  • Continue to participate in weekly rehearsals from July – August and perform the full-scale Junior show at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center in late August of 2023!  All students that are accepted into the program must participate in the full scale show.
  • After the performance weekend, students will pause until December, when they start to prepare for the JTF Competition Weekend, followed by the NPAF Competition weekend.
