As a reminder, troupe membership is for students.
International Thespians is the honor society that Troupe 513 is part of. Our troupe number (513) comes from when South joined International/Ohio Thespians. Most of our troupe is very active and pays dues to earn points and be a formal part of the troupe. (Joining thespians isn’t required to participate in South theatre.)
If your student wants to be an inducted thespian, they need to have paid dues.
If your student is a freshman and pays now, your student gets credit for points earned through this whole year. If your student is a sophomore and joins/pays now, they get credit for points earned this year (freshman year points won’t carry over unless you paid dues your freshman year).
As a rule, if a student is involved heavily with two Main Stage shows and one extra thing (like Scho Show, a student-directed one-act, Drama Camp, etc.), they will earn enough points to become a thespian. This counts for pit, crew, and cast.
At the end-of-year induction & awards ceremony, new thespians are inducted, and kids who are already members are recognized for earning more points and achieving various honor ranks.
