CETA Middle Stage Fest 2024
Date: April 6th, 2024
The CETA Middle Stage Fest, now in its twenty-third year, is an exciting event for middle school drama students. At the festival, students perform monologues, duo scenes, group scenes, and musical theatre numbers for panels of adjudicators and compete to earn bronze, silver and gold places.
Unlike involvement in sports, it is rare for theatre students to have the opportunity to meet peers from other schools, share their passion, showcase their talent, and learn from one another. This festival brings together hundreds of students to do just that.
Description:
Individual students may compete in up to two of six categories:
Technical theatre
Monologues
Duo scenes
Group scenes
Musical theatre solos
Musical theatre duets.
Students will record and submit their performances using Flipgrid.
Students get to connect with other young artists and share their experiences in theatre during workshops and games.
The event culminates with an awards ceremony including the best performances in each category.
