High School One-Act Play Festival (Additional fees apply)
FTC invites you to perform a one-act in the High School One-Act Play Festival at The Florida Theatre Conference! FTC’s High School One-Act Play Festival performance provides your students an excellent performance opportunity prior to District THESPY festivals. Feedback from FTC Respondents gives you constructive and encouraging advice on strengthening your production. Alongside feedback there are festival wide and show specific awards. Two productions are selected to represent the state of FL at the SETC 2025 Conference in Baltimore, MD March 19 - 23, 2025.

College Auditions (Seniors Only) (Additional fees apply) FULL
The college audition process is open to all Florida high school seniors. There will be representatives from colleges, universities, and conservatories from around the country who attend and are actively recruiting excellent talent that Florida is known for.
Students are able to audition in either "Acting," "Musical Theatre," or "Tech/Design" categories! Click HERE for audition guidelines.
Individual slots for these auditions fill first come-first served based on submission of the Audition Registration Forms (ARFs). If a student does not submit an ARF by October 7, or if all slots are filled before then, the student will not be able to audition for the colleges at this year's Conference. Slots are already filling fast, so please get your High School registrations and ARFs in ASAP.
For more information about college auditions, please contact brad@flatheatre.org.
Junior Audition Masterclass (Additional fees apply) FULL
Please Note: The audition process for Juniors has significantly changed from previous years, so it is REQUIRED that all teachers and Junior auditionees read the Audition guidelines found HERE to fully understand the changes this year.
For our Juniors, we are offering a new separate Junior Audition Masterclass, wherein High School Juniors get the chance to go through the exact same college audition experience as the Seniors for a smaller group of college and university reps who will actually give 3-5 minutes of feedback on each Junior audition. This is a great way for Juniors to prepare for their Senior Year college auditions as well as allowing college reps to see the talent coming down the line!
Students are able to audition in either "Acting," or "Musical Theatre" Click HERE for audition guidelines.
College Fair
Students will have access to dozens of in-state and out-of-state schools. They will be able to gather information on schools, speak with college reps, or even participate in audition callbacks. There are a variety of post-secondary options to choose from. We invite you to check out additional vendors and companies providing all sorts of theatrical products and services as well.
Workshops
As a member of FTC, the students in your organization will have access to a variety of workshops presented by expert instructors, special guests, vendors, colleges, and professionals.
