Mission of Competition:

The Virginia Theatre Association continues to work towards recognizing performances of our members. This year’s conference will include a monologue competition for secondary students in grades 8-12 with two categories of competition divided into grades 8-10 and grades 11-12. There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner for each category announced at our annual conference awards.

--Cost per student is $10.
