Get ready to be inspired! Take in the incredible energy and talent of our Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools students as they participate in the unforgettable Junior Theater Celebration Charlotte! Over three days, thousands of young performers and their dedicated teachers came together for an enthusiastic and educational experience centered around their shared love of musical theatre. Hosted in partnership with the renowned iTheatrics, Music Theatre International (MTI), and Blumenthal Arts' Education Department, this program offers a unique opportunity for our students to connect with peers and learn from the best in the business.

Witness the excitement as each school group takes the stage at Blumenthal's Knight Theater to perform a special selection from their adapted musical productions. Our students had the invaluable chance to receive constructive feedback from a panel of guest artists, helping them hone essential theatre skills like diction, projection, acting through song, and stage presence. Beyond the performances, the celebration was a hub of learning, with students diving into immersive workshops and teachers engaging in professional development led by iTheatrics teaching artists. Hear directly from our students as they share their personal experiences and the impact this incredible event has had on their passion for the performing arts. Join us in celebrating the dedication, creativity, and endless possibilities fostered through this amazing program, made possible thanks to generous support that keeps it free for our schools. See the magic unfold as students and teachers unite to spotlight the power of theater education!
