"ACT WELL YOUR PART FOR THERE ALL THE HONOR LIES."

Thespian membership is granted for the outstanding work in Theater Arts. Specifically, students become members by earning points for the hours of work contributed to their Theatre Arts department. Any student who has participated in at least two productions and for a total of 100 hours of work is eligible for membership.

At the end of every year there is a formal ceremony where members are inducted into the International Thespian Society. Only Thespians may attend this ceremony. This initiation is an honor and a tribute to the quality work that the student has contributed. To be inducted and to receive a membership card and a subscription to a renowned Theatre Arts magazine and to be eligible for Theatre Arts scholarships there is a one-time fee that is sent to the International Thespian Society.

 

The International Thespian Society was organized for the purpose of advancing the standards of excellence in Theatre Arts in the secondary schools, and to honor those students who have done outstanding work in school Theatre Arts programs. The society is a service as well an honorary organization that stresses continued participation in the arts as a means of widening the student’s and the community’s cultural horizons.
