CETA South High School Festival

Each year the Southern Region of CETA holds its High School Theatre Festival during Saturday and Sunday of Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. The 3-day festival showcases four mainstage shows which have been selected from each of the regions of Southern California: Los Angeles, Orange Counties, the Inland Empire, and San Diego County. Additionally, in "Scenefest," 8 schools are selected to perform 10-minute scenes from their productions.

The weekend offers countless opportunities for high schools students and their teachers.  Professional Theatre Artists lead workshops throughout Saturday afternoon; CETA-South sponsors students and teachers for California Youth in Theatre Day; Comedysportz performs Saturday evening; Sceneworks, a scene competition for those not performing on the Mainstage takes place; students can enter a Film Festival competition; Seniors can audition for schools and industry professionals; and awards for all aspects of the festival are handed out on Sunday.

Registration for the High School Theatre Festival begin in May of each year, and a mandatory teacher meeting occurs in early October. The Vice-President of CETA-South runs the HSTF, and can be contacted for further information,
