the TROUPE

The Troupe is HPCT’s award-winning Junior Theatre Festival competition team and is open to young performers in grades 6-12. Admission is based upon a vocal and dance audition, as well as written recommendations. Those selected will represent High Point Community Theatre at the Junior Theatre Festival in Atlanta, GA in January.

The Troupe is dedicated to providing participants a loving, yet professional, environment for the intermediate to advanced youth performer to grow. Our expectations are high, but those expectations are only topped by our desire to create a supportive and family-like atmosphere for everyone involved.

Auditions for the following year's Festival are held in July or August. HPCT’s The Troupe is directed and music directed by Courtney Lowe and choreographed by Kristi Post.

What is the Junior Theatre Festival (JTF)?

The Junior Theater Festival (JTF) is the world’s biggest and best celebration of young people performing musical theater.

JTF brings together student musical theater troupes from all over the world for a weekend of musical theater mayhem and madness. Each troupe performs fifteen minutes from a Broadway Junior®️ show for adjudication by a panel of musical theater experts. The weekend also features professional development for teachers, workshops for students and parents, a New Works Showcase featuring new musical adaptations soon to be released, and concludes with a grand finale concert headlined by Broadway’s best!
