The Pennsylvania State Thespian Conference (now known as PA ThesFest) will be held on January 2 thru 4, 2025 at West Chester University. PA ThesFest is a student oriented three-day event that celebrates PA Thespians and provides opportunities to participate in theatre activities including workshops, junior and senior scholarship opportunities, college fairs, and One Act and Main Stage performances. Hundreds of Pennsylvania students attend this annual event. We hope that our students will take advantage of this truly unique experience.
Students do not have to be inducted thespians to participate in most of the activities at PA ThesFest, but they do need to be inducted Thespians to participate in Sr. Scholarships, Jr. College Showcase, Improv Pairs and the Thespy program.
The info below will give you a brief overview of the fees and due dates associated with attending ThesFest:
The registration fee covers conference materials, workshops, performances and the following meals (Thursday Dinner, Friday Lunch & Dinner, Saturday Lunch). A hotel with complimentary breakfast for Friday and Saturday will be booked. It is difficult to attach a final cost to this event until we know how many students will be attending. We will be staying in a hotel which will have four (4) students to a room to save on costs. Students should start asking around for roommates. Additionally, transportation costs will also need to be factored in. The only other costs that may be incurred are for merch sold at ThesFest which is completely optional.
Information will be posted on www.pennsburydrama.org as we receive it. Any questions please contact us. Thank you.
