The countdown to the 2011 Junior Theater Festival is on, and there is a palpable excitement in the air as groups from around the country prepare to travel to Atlanta, Georgia, to perform at the world's largest musical theatre festival dedicated to  elementary and middle school students.

The Central Community Theater, located in Central, Louisiana, will be represented by two groups: the CCT Elite Jr. group, as well as the CCT Elite Sr. group. The CCT Elite Jr. group will be performing selections from Disney's Alice in Wonderland, Jr., and intends to perform the show in its entirety in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, next March. The CCT Elite Sr. group will be performing selections from Disney's Aladdin Jr., and will also present the full length version this spring. Both productions will feature choreography entirely created by student choreographers Addie Dean and Alex Burns.

The group was recently highlighted for their accomplishments in an article on CentralSpeaks.com. You can read the full text of the article by clicking here. You can also learn more about the Central Community Theatre by visiting their website here.
