Thespian Society
The International Thespian Society (ITS), founded in 1929, is an honorary organization for high school and middle school theater students located at more than 4,200 affiliated secondary schools across America, Canada, and abroad. The mission of ITS is to honor student achievement in the theater arts. High school inductees are known as Thespians and junior high/middle school inductees are known as Junior Thespians. ITS is a division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA).
The Thespian troupe is a subset of our theater arts program. It is the student honor society, a separate student organization, and membership is earned. Any student may be a member of the theater program, but only students who have been officially inducted and registered with the EdTA national office are members of the theater program and the International Thespian Society.Troupe 3418 Members 2020-2021- President: Dagny Scannell
