Each group will be allowed 15 minutes during adjudication, including any setup or cleanup that may be involved.
Your 15 minute performance is not required to follow the continuous plotline of your chosen show. For example:
- You may select your three favorite numbers from your production and perform them back-to-back.
- You may perform small scenes of your chosen show between your songs to give your 15 minute performance a narrative element.
- Unlike past years, you MAY NOT perform elements from more than one show.
No sets or costumes will be allowed. During adjudication, casts may wear their own school or organization T-shirts, otherwise official Junior Theatre Festival T-shirts (supplied upon your arrival) must be worn at all times.
Minimal handprops, including hats, gloves, and canes, may be used. If you have questions about whether your props will be allowed, please feel free to contact us.
Groups must perform to a Broadway Junior accompaniment CD. A sound system will be provided for you. A representative (teacher, director, parent) from your group will be expected to play your CD.
