The International Thespian Society (ITS) is the largest student theatre honor society. ITS, a division of the Educational Theatre Association, was founded in 1929 to promote and strengthen theatre in secondary schools.

Charter Members are inducted when they reach 10 points or 100 hours of theatre work. Honorary status is achieved after completing 20 points. Students can be associated with the Thespian Society while they work toward their first 10 points and will be known as an apprentice.

Thespian Society meets bimonthly on Fridays at 3:20 in the Media Center

THEATRE WINNERS!

Below is the press release from our KTA representative:

The Kentucky Theatre Association (KTA) Annual High School Drama Festival took place this past weekend in Danville, Ky on the campus of Centre College. For students in our state's high school drama programs, this annual event is the equivalent to basketball's Sweet 16 Tournament. Drama teams from 17 schools across the state came to compete and perform on stage and several mountain region schools left the festival winning top honors.

Corbin High School received the most prestigious awards for the production of "Harvey" as the school not only won The Best Newcomer Award to KTA but actors Katie Noble won Best Supporting Actress in the state and Evan Baylor won BEST ACTOR in the state. Dakota Dean of Corbin was also named to this year's All State Cast.

This year's KTA festival marks the most success and awards won by Eastern Kentucky's high school drama departments in the region's history.
