What exactly is the International Thespian Society?
"The International Thespian Society (ITS), founded in 1929, is an honorary organization for high school and middle school theatre students located at more than 4,900 affiliated secondary schools across America and abroad. The mission of ITS is to honor student achievement in the theatre arts. High school inductees are known as Thespians and junior high/middle school inductees are known as Junior Thespians. ITS is a division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA)."
Each time a student participates in a theatre production of some kind at Green Level they earn points towards their membership and other Thespian honor items!
What are some benefits to membership in the ITS?
How can I be considered for membership?
Once a year in March, Ms. Craig, the troupe director, will email all students who participated in a production that school year a Google Form. This will allow students to submit all qualifying classes, activities, and productions for points towards their membership. There will only be a two week window to apply!
