Main Stage Showcase
There's nothing like the rush of presenting or watching a show on the ITF Main Stage!
ITF’s main stage showcase honors students, teachers, and Thespian troupes by showcasing their amazing work in theatrical production in front of thousands of fellow Thespians and theatre educators at the annual festival.
This year's selection of twelve Main Stage shows, including nine musicals and three plays, will be presented across multiple venues on the campus of Indiana University.
