Junior Theater Festival 2026

We’re excited to be taking a trouple again to JTF in January, 2026!

What is Junior Theater Festival (JTF)?

JTF is the world’s biggest and best celebration of young people performing musical theater. They bring together student musical theater troupes from all over the world for a weekend of musical theater mayhem and madness. Each troupe performs fifteen minutes from a Broadway Junior show for adjudication by a panel of musical theater experts. The weekend also features professional development for teachers, workshops for students and parents, a New Works Showcase featuring new musical adaptations soon to be released and concludes with a grand finale concert headlined by Broadway’s best! Learn more at JuniorTheaterFestival.com.

JTF is held in January every year in Atlanta, Georgia. Masquerade has been bringing troupes to JTF since 2022 and brought home an “Excellence in Acting” award for our troupe in 2024 and 2025.
