Local Students Attend Atlanta’s Junior Theatre Festival
Local students, representing The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati (TCT), attended the 2026 Junior Theatre Festival in Atlanta, Georgia earlier this year. This weekend-long festival celebrates student-driven musical theater programs, with 141 groups from 31 states, Australia, England, France, Malta, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales, were all in attendance. The singing, dancing, acting, and learning resulted in amazing accolades for students who attend TCT, including an Excellence in Dance Award, All-Star status for Levi Baum and Josalyn Davidson, and Josalyn Da- vidson also making it for a call-back to a yet-to-be announced special project promoting musical theater in schools. Congratulations to all who attended! Learn more at thechildrenstheatre.com.
