Directors and Coaches,

We are excited to be hosting Grand Prairie High School’s Middle School Theatre Festival on December 9, 2023. The tournament will take place at Grand Prairie High School in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. All events are open to 5^th graders through 8^th graders. Students in 5^th grade may enter any event, however, only 5^thgraders are allowed to enter the 5^th grade monologues. Participates may not cross-enter in more than two events per section and that is at their own risk.

Registration will be through Tabroom.com and you will need to make an account. We have instructions listed in our Tournament Packet, and Google also has lots of tutorial help.

Please note that many of the events are slightly different or changed from last year. We hope to make the events as student friendly and fun as possible. Our goal is to make sure your students have a great time and continue to love theatre!
