Works-In-Progress Showcase
The Works-In-Progress Showcase provides an opportunity for every interested school to perform at Junior Thespian Festival! Participating schools will have 10 minutes to perform anything of your choice. Performance options include an acting scene, song, dance, readers theatre, or anything in between. You could have a duet, small ensemble, or large group participate, with or without scripts. Costumes, props, or lights will not be used, but you may use provided acting boxes to help with the performance. The auditorium's sound system may also be used if you have music in your performance. Your performance does not have to be a finished product, it could be a “work-in-progress” – something that your school is preparing for an upcoming performance. The goal is for students and teachers to see what other schools are working on in a fun and supportive environment.
