A Junior Theatre Celebration is heading to Australia!
A Junior Theatre Celebration is heading to Australia!
Hear Tim McDonald, Founder of iTheatrics announce this exciting celebration.
Modelled on the popular Junior Theatre Festival (JTF) that has taken place annually in Atlanta for the last 15 years, we are thrilled to announced that a similar, one-day event will be come to Newcastle, Australia in October 2016.
If you don't know what JTF is - JTF brings teachers, students and theatre professionals together to celebrate outstanding student musical theatre productions.
Events include adjudications, workshops for students, Theatre celebrities, a New Works Showcase, Awards Ceremonies and the largest collection of musical theatre professional development under one roof. Since its inception in 2003, JTF has grown from 650 people in attendance to over 4,500 attendees. It is a weekend of true musical theatre madness that is not to be missed!
So then, what's the Junior Theatre Celebration?
Simple. It is basically like JTF, but in one day!
Throughout the day, groups rotate between performing, learning from theatre professionals, watching their peers perform, and participating in interactive workshops. Groups present a 10-minute excerpt from their musical in front of their peers and an adjudication panel of distinguished theatre professionals. Following their performance, students receive valuable and constructive feedback from the adjudicators. This work is done in front of other participating groups and is designed to enlighten and educate both teachers and students on and offstage. The day is interspersed with skill-building workshops for the students and professional development opportunities for the teachers.
This finishing concert is open to the general public and presents an All-Star performance from students handpicked throughout the day, interviews with industry professionals, special guest performances and showcases some new works not yet released.
We are having trouble keeping our jazz hands still. We are so excited to share this opportunity in AUSTRALIA for the very first time!
We lok forward to seing you in NEWCASTLE at JTC AUSTRALIA 2016.

The Red Velvet Cake War by Jones Hope Wooten In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins - Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette - could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. Their outrageous antics have set tongues wagging in the small town of Sweetgum (just down the road from Fayro) and the eyes of Texas are upon them, as their self-righteous Aunt LaMerle is quick to point out. Having "accidentally" crashed her minivan through the bedroom wall of her husband's girlfriend's doublewide, Gaynelle is one frazzled nerve away from a spectacular meltdown. Peaches, the saucy number one mortuarial cosmetologist in the tri-county area, is struggling to decide if it's time to have her long-absent trucker husband declared dead. And Jimmie Wyvette, the roughhewn store manager of Whatley's Western Wear, is resorting to extreme measures to outmaneuver a priss-pot neighbor for the affections of Sweetgum's newest widower. But the cousins can't back out of the reunion now. It's on and Gaynelle's hosting it; Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette have decided its success is the perfect way to prove Gaynelle's sanity to a skeptical court-appointed psychologist. Unfortunately, they face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gathers on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. Things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor's pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a shocking high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced uproarious romp barrels toward its surprising climax, you'll wish your own family reunion was this much fun! License today! #joneshopewooten #dramatistplayservice
