Junior Theater Festival 2025 Auditions
In person auditions have taken place already. If you are still interested in joining, please fill out the form below before August 1, 2024, and we will contact you to schedule an audition. Thank you!
Please sign up below for auditions for Firefly’s JTF Troupe. This is Firefly Theatrical’s advanced troupe and admittance into this competition group will be by audition only. The students will train and perform a cut from Finding Nemo Jr. for the Junior Theater Festival taking place on January 17-19, 2025.
What is JTF? — The Junior Theater Festival (JTF) is an annual conference of 6,000 students and directors from youth theatre companies across the world! Every troupe shares a 15-minute cut from a junior musical for adjudication with awards being given on the final day. Participants also take workshops in singing, dancing, and acting plus see interviews and performances with Broadway performers and famous musical composers. Parents can come as well; we need a chaperone for every four students. Parents will pay the $350 ticket fee for the weekend conference (and food and hotel if they so choose). (If we don’t get enough parent chaperones, everyone will pay a small chaperone fee so we can bring more Firefly staff members to be chaperones.)
Auditions: Please sign up for a one-hour timeslot. You will be asked to sing a one-minute cut from any musical and then learn a short dance combo. Please bring jazz shoes (tennis shoes are also fine for the audition but student will need black jazz shoes for the festival).
