Each troupe brings a single One Act performance to showcase their talent to the Wesley Chapel Center for the Arts, and to get feedback from theater professionals.

District 14 Individual Events

The District 14 Individual Events Festival brings together hundreds of students from across four counties. Students can compete in over a dozen different events, including acting, musical theater, design, playwriting, directing and pantomime.

Enjoy friendship, talent, food trucks, performances, and professional feedback on your growth as a performer, designer, director or playwright.
