On behalf of the arts department of The St. Paul’s Schools I congratulate our thespians and thank them for their efforts this year.
The Society was established in 1929. The organization is named for Thespis, the ancient Greek who, according to legend, stepped out from the chorus and became the first actor. The Society’s guiding principle is a dedication to excellence in educational theatre. The International Thespian Society honors those students who do theatre well. ITS is an honorary organization for high school and middle school theatre 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 theatre arts. ITS is a division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA).

-
Induction points should be earned through participation in at least two full-length productions
-
Induction points should be earned in at least two of the listed categories (e.g. acting and production).
