Over the course of the two days, more than 1,200 students from across the State of New Jersey (and some groups from Delaware) will participate in various workshops (in areas of performance and technical theatre), competing in a variety of individual and group events, auditioning for scholarships from colleges and universities, and visiting information booths and theatrical vendors.
