JUNIOR THESPIANS

overview

We host a separate Junior Thespians Festival for Middle School Students.

Registration is through the same system as the High School Festival but you must be registered as a “Middle School”. Because of the way the system is structures, if your troupe has both Middle and High School students, you will need two separate accounts.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions at JUNIOR@marylandthespians.org.
