What is a Thespy?
|
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. |
Please make sure your students PAY CLOSE attention to all rules, time limits, and requirements in the Program Guide for their events to avoid disqualification, and please check the APPROVED PUBLISHERS LIST for acting and musical events!
Program guide can be found HERE. This page is your resource for RUBRICS, rules, and links to help you and your students prepare for events and tech challenge. |
