Greetings PA Thespian Troupe Directors, Troupes, and Thespians! PA Thespians is excited to continue the Theatre In Our Schools Challenge (TIOS) this year.
What is Theatre In Our Schools Month?
​Please take some time to examine the materials below. This is an excellent opportunity for PA Thespian Troupes to participate in TIOS, grow their TIOS participation, share ideas with other Troupes, and receive some wonderful assessments of your TIOS work to share with your community, district, school, and even PA and US legislators to show them that Theatre Matters and theatre education is important -- and WHY! This is your chance to share your passion and voices with those who make the policy and budget decisions affecting your curricular and extracurricular programs. AND have fun with other Thespians who share your passion and creativity with collective and collaborative voices.Â
Â
Please review the PA Thespian 2026-2027 TIOS Challenge and what participation can do to grow your troupe, your work, and you!
Â
Students are welcome to help complete either or both of the following 2025 TIOS Resume AND the 2026 TIOS Resume.  BUT Troupe Directors ONLY should submit the completed Registration and Final Report Google Forms using your school email address. Forms not completed by you from your official school email will be rejected as 'unofficial'. ​
Thank you for all you do for theatre, theatre education, and theatre advocacy. As #ProudTheatreKids you make Theatre Matter!!
