International Thespian Society/Educational Theatre Association

The International Thespian Society (also referred to as I.T.S.) has been established to honor secondary school students for outstanding work in theatre.  Thespian membership is granted through a point system for the performance of meritorious work in theatre arts including acting, directing, performing, writing and technical achievements which meet the Society’s general guidelines.

To attain Thespian membership, a student must earn ten points (ten hours equals one point).

After thespians have attained membership, further recognition for their outstanding work in theatre arts may be recognized by awarding stars for each additional ten points to a maximum of four stars.
