2026 marks Theatre Raleigh ACT’s first time attending the Junior Theater Festival West, an exciting step in expanding JTF opportunities for our students. After many years of participation at JTF Atlanta, we are thrilled to offer even more students the chance to experience the festival by adding a JTF West troupe for the first time.

​

JTF West provides the same immersive, high-energy rehearsal and performance environment that challenges students to grow artistically while building confidence, discipline, and collaboration skills. Through performance, professional feedback, and inspiring workshops, students gain valuable insight into their craft while learning alongside peers from across the country. Attending JTF West allows us to broaden access to this impactful experience and continue fostering well-rounded, confident artists.
