The 2011 Junior Theater Festival (JTF) is the biggest event of its kind exclusively dedicated to young people performing musical theater. Presented by MTI, iTheatrics and the Theater of the Stars, the JTF has been the site of some incredible theatrical moments over the past few years as educators and students from across the country perform shows from the MTI Broadway Junior Collection.
There are still a limited number of spaces available for the 2011 Junior Theater Festival which will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on January 14, 15 and 16. If you’d like to apply for your group to participate, Download the Festival Brochure with Application Form.
