Membership in the International Thespian Society
Thespians receive the highest recognition due those who have demonstrated commitment and excellence in their school's theatre program - memberhship in the world's largest theatre honor society. Thespians enjoy the sense of belonging and recognition inherent in being inducted into an honor society. Thespian membership encourages them to practice their craft and to grow as a person. The skills that they learn from a quality theatre arts education - creativity, self-confidence, leadership, communication, interpersonal skills as well as specific theatre skills - will benefit them in their school days and beyond.
