Resources for Students
Let’s talk about Thespies!
The International Thespian Excellence Awards (or Thespys® for short) recognize the highest level of achievement in school theatre performance, technical theatre, writing, and filmmaking.
This educational program celebrates the work of theatre students, giving them the opportunity to receive constructive feedback on prepared theatrical material, technical design, plays, and short films, and recognizing their achievements on local, regional, and international stages.
“Performing a Thespy is a really great way to get experience for performing for professional adjudicators. The feedback you get helps you improve for the next time you perform.”
