MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Theatre for Youth Division hosts a Middle School festival annually at
Georgia Theatre Conference:

MIDDLE SCHOOL FESTIVAL
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. This festival will take place the Piedmont Grand Opera House in Downtown Macon.
COST
$160 per team
(Includes Director’s membership and
registration, plus festival fee) +
$20 per student and/or $15 per chaperone.
