What is the International Thespian Society (ITS)? The International Thespian Society, a division of EdTA, is an honorary organization for high school and middle school theatre students. Roughly 5,000 schools around the world have Thespian troupes. The Society’s mission is to honor student achievement in the theatre arts.

High school inductees are known as Thespians and junior high/middle school inductees are known as Junior Thespians.
