Alabama Thespians is looking for high caliber one act and full-length productions to showcase at Festival. If you would like to share your show with other Alabama Thespians, then we encourage you to apply for one of our main stage slots. Application can be filled out via online registration. 

Alabama Thespians will have two performance slots available this year for the Main Stage.  This is an exciting opportunity for the selected schools and for the state thespian membership. We would like you to consider bringing your show to the State Thespian Festival!    For questions, contact Trisha Oliver at pholiver@auburnschools.org.

Please review the information provided here to decide whether or not your show would work in the performance spaces. 

ALEdTA recognizes and appreciates all of the effort and dedication required to bring a main stage to the festival.  We would like to honor this commitment by offering 50% off registration fees.  

Requirements

A completed application must be submitted online by the deadline (October 30, 2023). 

Proof of Performance Rights must be submitted at the registration table on day 1 of Festival.

Registration

Schools who are selected for a main stage performance must register all performing and tech students and adults for the conference (all students who are active in the production - front and backstage). No student will be allowed to perform at the conference that is not registered for the conference.  The only exception to this will be student musicians performing in orchestras for musicals.

Restrictions

Our main goal is to provide festival attendees with as many performance opportunities and experiences as possible while at the festival.  It is for this reason we ask that schools not submit a show for the main stage in two consecutive years.  Any school who presented in the year prior will not be considered for main stage performance. (In the unlikely event that we do not receive enough submissions for the mainstage, Alabama Thespians reserves the right to allow a school who presented in the previous year to submit an application for performance.)
