The annual Jr. Mainstage Production, created and cast by middle- and high-school students from the community, is one of the most popular spring offerings each year at Theatre Jacksonville. This year, Theatre Jacksonville is reimagining the production by featuring young voices from across the Northeast Florida area in a video montage. Students ages 7-18 are invited to submit a one-minute monologue recording, using the theme “Imagine Your World,” either an existing monologue or one of their own original works.
Submissions are due by 4 p.m. on Monday, April 5.
“We are thrilled to be able to showcase a number of talented students throughout our region by compiling individual submissions into a ‘time capsule’ production format,” said Education Director Ron Shreve. “Throughout the pandemic, we have relied upon creative reimagining for our programming, and this is a great opportunity to bring our Jr. Mainstage Production to a wider audience, since an audience cannot yet return to us.”
Video submissions, no longer than 90 seconds, should be submitted via email to Loudise@TheatreJax.com, and selected monologues will be compiled into the “Imagine Your World” time capsule virtual show. The Jr. Mainstage Production show will be viewable from Monday, May 3 through Sunday, May 9. Tickets are available through the Theatre Jacksonville website.
