International Thespian Society (ITS)
The International Thespian Society is an honor organization that recognizes student achievement in theatre arts. Southeast Alamance is proud to be home to our own Thespian Troupe for the first time this year, where students earn points through performance, technical work, and service in theatre. Once inducted, members are part of a global network of theatre students, gaining access to leadership opportunities, festivals, scholarships, and special events. ITS celebrates dedication, creativity, and excellence onstage and backstage.

Troupe 12418 is proudly led by Mrs. Atkins, guiding Southeast Alamance’s theatre crew of storytellers, scene-stealers, and backstage magicians as they earn their spot in the International Thespian Society.
The NCTC High School Play Festival program showcases the talent of more than 3,500 students from 100+ schools, in over 130 productions. The Festival gives schools from all across the state the opportunity to share their talents and celebrate their collective achievements. The program was named one of the “Top High School Theatre Festivals” by Stage Directions Magazine.
Each fall, schools travel to regional Festivals for 2 days of performance and celebration. Select plays from each of the regional Festivals advance to the NCTC State High School Play Festival, which is affectionately known as the “State Football Championships of Theatre.” The top 2 shows at the State Festival go on to a national Festival.
We competed for the first time Fall 2025 and came home with awards listed below as well as a festival spirit award and an "Excellent Rating"
What "Excellent Rating" Means at NCTC:
High-Level Performance: It's a strong commendation from adjudicators (judges) for overall quality in a festival setting.
Specific Recognition: Often paired with awards for:
Acting: Individual or ensemble performances.
Design: Costume, sound, lighting.
Directing & Playwriting.
Production: Overall strength, simplicity, or audience appeal.
