Six schools from across the state bring a show to perform on one of the main stages in Century II Performing Arts Center.  Students can also compete in a variety of theatre activities including playwriting, charades, theatre trivia, improvisation, creative costuming, and Tech Challenge.  Thespians who are seniors can audition for the colleges that attend the festival.

THE DETAILS

WHAT OUR MEMBERS THINK.

I couldn't believe how much fun I had and how much I learned. I made so many friends while having the time of my life. I am so excited to bring my knowledge back to school to our theatre.

The organization of the event and the leadership was amazing. Thank you all for your tireless work. I felt like I was a true part of something great and I ended up making a lot of new friends.
