2025 MARYLAND THESPIAN FESTIVAL
FESTIVAL SCHEDULE
schedule overview
The Maryland Thespian Festival takes place over two days and is primarily scheduled into 80-minute sessions with 10 minutes of passing time between sessions and events. Each day begins with a full-Festival ceremony; then, during each session, you’ll find performances, workshops, Troupe events, or auditions. Lunch and dinner are included for all Festival participants. The Main Stage Series brings the entire delegation together once again for a full-length play or musical presented by a Maryland Thespians member high school. Please note that the schedule below is subject to change.
For 2024, we will also be hosting a separate Junior Thespians Festival for Middle School Students. More information about the format and how to register will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, please reach out to the Middle School colleagues in your county to let them know about this exciting opportunity and have them contact us with any questions at info@marylandthespians.org.
