What is a Thespian?
Thespian with an uppercase “T” refers to a member of the International Thespian Society, the world’s largest honor society for theatre students. The designation “Thespian” includes student members who excel in technical and production fields as well as performance in their high school theatre.

Medusa's Tale by Carol S. Lashof (January 2020) Directed by Roberto Robles
Countless would-be-heroes have tried to slay Medusa, the famous monster with snakes for hair, but each and every one has turned to stone, simply by meeting her gaze.
The young Perseus is different, though. The Goddess Athena has given him a sword and shield and told him to beware of Medusa's tricks. But Perseus finds himself suddenly unprepared when Medusa's weapon of choice is a bedtime story—the story of her life.
Will Perseus stay true to his course and slay the monster, or will the humanity of Medusa's tale slay the hero?

Thespians receive the highest recognition due those who have demonstrated commitment and excellence in their school’s theatre program—induction into the world’s largest theatre honor society. ITS membership and its system of progressive honors and recognition encourages them to practice their craft and to grow as a person—creativity, self-confidence, leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, as well as specific theatre skills—will benefit you throughout school and beyond.
