The Competition Toolkit

Theatre festivals and competitions are more than just a chance to showcase your program - they’re an opportunity to inspire, challenge, and connect your students in new ways. While competing can be exciting, the true benefits go far beyond the trophies. From deepening their understanding of theatre to building confidence and expanding their social circles, bringing a show to a contest can have a lasting impact.

If you're thinking about entering a local or regional theatre festival, this guide will walk you through key considerations before, during, and after your performance to help make the experience as rewarding as possible.
