Welcome!

NTS (National Theatre School) DramaFest is a high school theatre festival providing students the opportunity to engage in all areas related to the production of a play or musical.  Participants collaborate with peers to write and perform original or published works.  DramaFest is a platform for young people to exercise their empathy, their listening skills, their sense of community, and to have conversations about the complexity of the world. It is a place to safely explore ideas, self-expression and friendship. All secondary schools are invited to register!

Festival Structure

District 

Toronto is divided into three districts. Each district has a District Coordinator and 3-4 host schools. 1-3 productions (depending on the size of the district) are selected from the District Festival to advance to the Regional Festival. 

Toronto Regionals take place at the historic Hart House Theatre at the University of Toronto. Two productions are selected to advance to the Provincial Showcase. 

Provincials

The 2024 Provincial Showcase will be hosted by North Bay! Students will gather from six regions from all across Ontario for a weekend of workshops, social events and of course the Showcase!
