Middle Stage Fest 2019
February 16, 2019
The CETA Middle Stage Fest, now in its eighteenth year, is an exciting event for middle school drama students. At the festival, students perform monologues, scenes, and musical theatre numbers for panels of adjudicators and compete to earn bronze, silver and gold medals. In addition, while judges are tabulating the scores, students get to participate in high-energy theatre games. 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. All participating students qualify to attend CA YOUTH IN THEATRE DAY, where they meet and perform with other award-winning students from throughout the state.
Description:
Individual students may compete in up to two of four categories: monologues, duos scenes, musical solos and musical duets. Students will perform each of their events three times. A boxed lunch is provided for all participants.
Students get to connect with other young artists, and share their experiences in theatre. While scores are being tabulated students participate in high-energy theatre activities with a guest artist. At awards, students performers will receive a bronze, silver or gold medal to take home and show their friends!
