Junior ThesCon 2024
The 2024 Georgia Junior Thespian Conference will be held on February 24, 2024 at the Georgia Military Academy in Milledgeville, GA.
The Georgia Junior Thespian Conference provides the opportunity to participate in a variety of workshops, master classes, individual performances, and technical theatre events led by theatre professionals from around the country, all while you get to hang out with middle school students from around the state.
Please review the Georgia Thespian Code of Conduct.
Please review the Safety and Security Rules.
Because the conference is an educational event for middle school students and their teachers and is bound by seating limitations, participation in all events will be available only to Thespian troupes and schools who have registered by the registration cut-off date.
Pre-Conference:
Conference Agreement Form: All conference attendees – students and adults – are required to complete an Agreement Form. Troupe Directors will collect copies of Agreement Forms from their attendees and will submit a copy of each Agreement Form with their registration submission.
