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.

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.
