This festival is an opportunity for public, private, and charter middle school theatre programs to participate in a one act play competition that is designed to promote theatre in the middle grades, and prepare students for high school one act competition. The festival offers students a unique performance opportunity, education in the competition theatre format, and a sense of community with their peers across the state. Educators can expect to receive encouraging and constructive feedback for their productions, opportunities to engage with their professional community, and a memorable experience for their theatre program.
