JTF Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at jeterbt@yahoo.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
The JBTeam is a group of motivated performers that travels to the Junior Theater Festival, an international festival that is the largest celebration of youth musical theater. We have won numerous awards at JTF, and are the only group in Pennsylvania that attends the festival!
We present an adjudication piece that consists of 15 minutes of material from a Broadway Junior show, and receive feedback from a panel of judges made up of industry professionals. In addition to performing, there are classes, workshops and panels covering a variety of topics. Mainstage events are a group favorite, where we have been treated to performances from a wide range of Broadway stars and industry luminaries, like Cynthia Erivo, Pasek and Paul, Alan Menken, Adam Jacobs, Caissie Levy, Megan Hilty, and so many more!
The JBTeam begins rehearsals in December, meeting one a week until traveling to JTF. Mention slam/show?
