After an incredibly successful year at the 2023 Junior Theatre Festival (JTF) our award-winning Competition Team is ready to make waves in two 2024 competitions!
In 2024, our Competition Team will be attending the Junior Theatre Festival (Atlanta) in January, AND the National Performing Arts Festival (Orlando) in February, performing LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL JR!
Please take a moment and consider supporting these amazing young performers by donating today.
The Competition Team received a 2022 Excellence in Music award at JTF for their presentation of Children of Eden JR, and a 2023 Excellence in Ensemble award at JTF for their performance of Godspell JR. At the 2023 JTF New Works Showcase, the Competition Team was honored to present the premiere performance of Mean Girls 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.
- 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.
