JM returns for a third-straight year to the North Carolina Theatre Conference High School Play Festival with two performances over two days in the regional competition at Asheboro High School.

More about today’s play and schedule will be announced soon.

The NCTC High School Play Festival showcases the talent of more than 3,500 students from more than 100 schools in over 130 productions, giving schools across the state an opportunity to share their talents and celebrate their collective achievements. The festival was named one of the “Top High School Theatre Festivals” by Stage Directions magazine.

Schools begin performing at one of eight two-day regional festivals. Select plays from each of the regional festivals advance to the NCTC State High School Play Festival on November 20-21 at Greensboro College, and the top two shows at the state festival advance to a national event. 

Eight shows are currently scheduled for Friday — four in the morning session (8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and four in the afternoon session (2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.) Other schools performing on Friday will be announced soon. All performances are open to the public.
