Are you a Thespian?

You’re a Thespian if you were officially inducted into a high school International Thespian Society troupe. You became eligible for induction into the honor society by completing at least 100 hours of excellent work in the theatre and related arts. As a Thespian, you uphold the Thespian motto, “Act well your part; there all the honor lies.” You’ll find that this motto and the theatrical, leadership, communication, and organizational skills that you develop as a Thespian will serve you well for the rest of your life.

On this page we’ve gathered important information about your Thespian membership and a wide variety of ITS opportunities and programs available to you.
