The Boston Theatre Celebration is a one-day, non-competitive opportunity for students to share work, receive feedback, and forge connections with students in other schools that can lead to collaboration and support for years to come.

Open to city high schools – both public and private. Each school will create a theatrical presentation under 40 minutes in length that may include a one-act play, individual scenes and monologues, songs, or improv sketches. There will be no charge to participating schools.

Each performance will receive a live, on-stage feedback session with METG adjudicators chosen from a pool of working theatre professionals and educators in Boston. Adjudicators will recognize outstanding students, and students will collaborate to create tributes and celebrations of each other’s work. Throughout the day, students will have structured opportunities to meet and make new friends with other students.

If you are a theatre teacher or a teacher supporting a theatre program in a Boston high school, METG can provide support and logistics to make sure that this is a positive experience for you and your students. You know them best, you know your schools best, and you know what you need. Let us know!

METG will provide support in any of the following ways:
• Free METG membership for new city member schools. A free year of Guild activities for your students!
• Mentor educators for technical and artistic advice and feedback for those schools that may have the desire to participate, but do not have the experience.
• Teaching artists to help provide artistic and technical support as directors, assistant directors, or technical directors
