San Diego Junior Theatre (Junior Theatre) was incorporated in 1948 as a nonprofit corporation and is the oldest youth theatre in the nation, offering affordable camps, classes, and outreach programs for children ages 3-18; as well as six main stage productions each season. Students gain confidence, learn leadership, practice teamwork, and build a skill set - not only for a theatre stage, but for the larger stage of the real world. Current students between ages 8 and 18 are invited to audition or work on the backstage crew for eight main stage productions. Productions include Broadway musicals, adaptations from the popular canon of children's literature, and Shakespeare, and are directed, choreographed, and designed by Junior Theatre's production staff and professional guest artists.San Diego Junior Theatre aims to create and sustain a community of inclusion, where everyone feels safe, welcomed and represented, regardless of race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, gender identit
