The faculty and staff of the CSUSB Department of Theatre Arts would like to extend a special thank you to the participating schools in 2023's High School Theatre Festival!
We are currently discussing date options, but we know the date will be, as it always has been, in March!
About the High School Theatre Festival:
Each year we welcome hundreds of high school drama students to the CSUSB campus for a day of performance, competition, workshops, and fun! HSTF is an opportunity for your students to work alongside college students and professionals while honing their skills, and socializing with their contemporaries.
