Topeka West Theatre

Good luck everyone!

We are so excited to send 7 of our Thespians to represent us at The International Thespian Festival next week.

We have 10 competitions in person and 2 of our thespians submitted pieces virtually.

Stay turned for updates from our time in Bloomington.

Thank you to each person who donated, baked something for a bake sale, attended a fundraiser, etc

We could not attend this event without the support of our community.

Tonight, Broadway takes center stage. As we celebrate the Tony Awards, we also celebrate the theatre teachers, students, troupes, and school programs where so many Broadway dreams first begin. To every Thespian watching tonight: keep creating, keep learning, keep showing up, and keep telling stories that matter. The future of theatre is already in rehearsal.

We were so excited to be invited to hear Sean Astin speak this evening at Helen Hocker Theatre.

Congratulations to our 24 Thespian Inductees.

Educational Theatre Association

Congratulations to our 2026-2027 officer team.

Please be on the lookout for items you might want to get rid of that we could use.
