What is JTF?
The Junior Theater Festival (JTF) is the world’s biggest and best celebration of young people performing musical theatre!
JTF brings together student musical theatre troupes from all over the world for a weekend of musical theatre mayhem and madness. Each troupe performs fifteen minutes from a Broadway Junior®️ show for adjudication by a panel of musical theatre experts. The weekend also features workshops for students and parents, a New Works Showcase featuring new musical adaptations soon to be released and concludes with a grand finale concert headlined by Broadway’s best!
JTF gives everyone who attends the opportunity to experience the transformative power of musical theatre through watching performances, attending workshops and making connections with other musical theatre groups from around the world.
Awards
Stageworks Theatre is proud to be able to offer this experience to our Academy students. Each year we have been excited to have our casts be honored with some of the highest recognitions and come home with a trophy.
