JUNIOR THEATRE FESTIVAL

The Junior Theatre Festival, taking place 18 & 19 May 2024 at The ICC, Birmingham, brings together schools and youth groups from across the UK and Europe for a day of musical theatre mayhem. Join MTI for a day of jazz hands and spirit fingers, and your chance to celebrate, educate, motivate and participate.

After lunch everyone gathers in the theatre for a sneak peak at two new Broadway Junior shows soon to be released for licensing.

West End professionals and master teachers from across the globe will offer interactive workshops in all aspects of musical theatre performance.
