Junior Theater Festival!
January 11 - 15, 2024!


​NSPA is excited to take another awesome group to the Junior Theater Festival! At this event, students will perform a 15-minute cutting of a Broadway Jr show in Atlanta, GA for a panel of highly ranked judges! ​In addition to competing, students will take various musical theater workshops and see different performances of up and coming shows to hit the Broadway Junior stage, as well as shows that are hot on the stage in NYC! Plus- there are always surprises at JTF! Many notable Broadway stars like to drop by! This is an unforgettable trip every theater kid loves!

Join Our Award Winning JTF Troupe!

We'd love to have you join us for our next JTF trip! NSPA was honored to win Excellence in Music at JTF Texas in 2021, Excellence in Ensemble Work at JTF Atlanta 2022, and Excellence in Dance at JTF 2023 in Atlanta. Though JTF is technically our shortest performance of the year, the work ethic, enthusiasm, and passion of our JTF groups rival any other show we put on. This rehearsal process is unlike any other NSPA rehearsal process! Students often return from JTF with a stronger passion for theater and a new-found appreciation for there own performance abilities. Throughout the festival our group gets to take amazing workshops, watch mind-blowing performances, and experience the magic of theater with over 6,000 other young people. Most of all, they get to bond with each other in a way that only a JTF trip can allow you to bond. We LOVE our Junior Theater Festival trips!
