The Thespian Excellence Awards or “THESPYs” (formally known as IEs or Individual Events) are intended to be a non-competitive, educational offering for students. Students have the opportunity to receive constructive feedback from professional judges on their prepared theatrical material and technical designs. The goal for participating students is to find their strengths and weaknesses and to grow as theatre artists. Participating in the THESPYs is optional and open to all ITS Thespian delegates affiliated with a school attending the Festival.
To ensure high quality and solid preparation, we encourage directors to hold troupe auditions before submitting their digital THESPYs. Please make sure the content of all events is suitable for all high school audiences and is a good fit for your student(s).
