The cost per student is $40 , which covers a full day of ThesFest programming—workshops, performances, and all festival activities led by professional teaching artists.

Adjudications (OPTIONAL)
ThesFest 2025 offers an exciting educational opportunity for students to receive constructive feedback from professional Teaching Artists through our adjudication program. THIS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. This experience celebrates student work both onstage and behind the scenes—whether performing a prepared piece or showcasing technical designs. In addition to receiving personalized feedback, select students will also have the opportunity to perform or present their work for the entire festival audience , highlighting excellence and creativity in Tennessee’s middle school theatre community. It’s a chance to grow, be recognized, and shine on a larger stage!
