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.
