Junior Theatre Festival Australia Kicks Off 2020 Edition This Month

Having recently rebranded, 2020 will see the first fully fledged Junior Theatre Festval. Joining the ranks of JTF Atlanta, JTF Sacramento and JTF Europe, the Junior Theatre Celebration Australia will now enjoy a larger global network of festivals to elevate the profile of the event in the Southern Hemesphere.

Junior Theatre Festival Australia takes place at the Civic Theatre Newcastle, NSW, October 30 & 31, 2020.

Now JTF Australia, this means we are now seen in the eyes of the global community as an event meeting the criteria of international standards, allowing us to begin expanding our program with additional workshops and opportunities for our students and teachers as our festival continues to grow. Some of the immediate additions will include an educational tech track for those who like to work behind the scenes, an Ensemble workshop and in the coming years a creative development program and the view to extend the program from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.
