  2. WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY? • The International Thespian Society (ITS), an honorary group for middle and high school theatre students, is a division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA). The mission of ITS is to honor student excellence in the theatre arts. Thespian troupes are just a component of a school’s theatre program. ITS membership offers many valuable benefits, services, and opportunities to troupe directors and Thespians alike. • Thespian induction is a great motivator for students to become more active in their school’s theatre program. Whether or not these students pursue careers in the performing arts, the skills that they learn through theatre and Thespian activities are invaluable and ensure that future generations will appreciate and support the arts in our communities. We thank our troupe directors for caring enough to provide their students with this meaningful opportunity. • A student can become a part of ITS by earning ten ITS points. • Points are earned by participating and performing in various CHS drama events. These can include, but are not limited to: being cast in a show, working crew for a show, attending and/or performing in District IE or One Act Events. Performing or working crew for the Showcase. Performing at and/or attending the Florida State Thespian Conference. 10 hours of work generally equals 1 point and all points are managed by the Secretary: Sabrina Shore
