ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

All students attending JTF must be prepared to be an active team player and to present an ensemble-based story with many moving pieces. The nature of a JTF performance downplays “lead” characters and emphasizes group storytelling.

Our rehearsal period is short and intense.  Therefore, only students with minimal or no conflicts will be considered for JTF 2025. 

​

$350/person participant fees (for each student or parent attending the festival) due mid-September, with a group send-in deadline in early October..

Families are responsible for travel and lodging expenses to attend JTF. (InnOVATION Arts will reserve a block of hotel rooms and all families are required to stay at the JTF hotel this year.)
