The International Thespian Society is the only theatre honor society for middle and high school students in the United States. Affiliation brings credibility and distinction to students, theatre programs, and schools. It is a visible, positive symbol of the quality of your theatre program.
ITS recognizes, rewards, and encourages student achievement and celebrates the work of students in all aspects of theatre – performance and production. Each student is honored on a national level and gains access to opportunities and resources beyond those of their school.
You can learn more about ITS by visiting the Educational Theate Association website.
Students who join ITS have the opportunity to attend Regional, State, and International Thespian Festivals.
Each spring, thespians across the state gather for a weekend of participating in awesome workshops, viewing one-act performances, and connecting with fellow NC thespians.
Interested in joining our troupe? Students may join ITS after accruing 10 Thespian Points, which equates to 100 hours of theatrical experience. Students can gain points in a variety of different ways. You should fill out the ITS Induction Points Worksheet to keep track of your points each year.
Once a student is qualified for induction and submits their worksheet to Ms. Mayo, they will be issued an invitation to join ITS. There is a one-time induction fee of $35.00.
